first - in the interest of full disclosure, i live in one of _the_ best public school districts in PA. period. no exagerration.
the major problem with public education is the funding mechanism, i.e. local property taxes pay for local schools. poor neighborhoods dont pay a whole heckuva lot of prop taxes, and therefore have crap schools.
i'm interested in what just happens with the "gambling bill for prop tax relief" that just passed in PA.... it promises to even out funding, and reduce local prop taxes. i'm sure that it wont....
as for getting involved... look mate, i was seriously propositioned to run for boro council 4 days ago. i am involved.
maybe, if america did develop the ultra-inefficient subdivision style, and instead did honest-to-goodness urban planning, then, maybe a light rail system would make sense.
the sun is the bright thing that blinds you when you stumble out of a casino at 7am, and try to figure out where the hell your hotel is, what you did all night, and what your going to tell your wife when you get home......
I am against owning guns. I believe that if you could trust every single person (adult) to be respobsible with a gun, then they would have the right to own one. I believe that too has caused more deaths (mainly children) than the lives (or posessions) it has saved.
as a liberal, i have to say this:
the right to own guns is not about personal protection, its a backup to the first amendment. if we cant redress our grievences to the govt. using peaceful means, well... we still got our guns.

as a linux-nut, i have to say this:
hierarchical file systems are retarded, and a huge kludge. at least msft is trying to do something about it...
i came to this point of view after watching a customer of mine navigate about 20 leaves deep to find a document. its totally retarded, and nonsensical.
you know what - it never surprises me when someone who dropped out accomplished nothing.

well, i guess that 1/3 isnt bad.
the first two are right wing bullshit. we have enough refining capacity in this country, and the regions that require a different additive pay more for it.
but your third - yep, opec is using the only weapon they have. if only we stopped trying to kill them, maybe they would play nice back.

2) been debunked before.

when you say that your tax rate has gone down, are you talking about FIC, or overall tax burden?
because, i think that you will find, that the overall tax burden has risen slightly, but been shifted away from the fed to the state/local.

gnosticism followed closely the split personality between the old testament, and new testament gods.
they claimed a duality of good and evil.
roman catholicism outright rejected it, and specifically excommunicated those who follow it.
