Wait....I think I get the point. All school teachers should be paid 23 million dollars a year unless they fall down between third and home.

Hmm. "Laws of economics. Supply and demand." Would that be like arguing that none of the fools on this thread could go oh-for-October, wear a damn do-rag, and roll around the dirt like an overfed hog?

Got it.

SEVERE shortage of respect for education among the peanut gallery here....

I don't live in Detroit; I don't even live in Michigan.

I know every so often someone likes to pop into the sports forum and from the politics pit and tries to stir the pot, and sometimes they get someone who will engage them. We all respect teachers, some of my closest friends are teachers. Your thread is based on a flawed logical premise, which I know is all the rage in the intellectual graveyard that is the politics forum. Maybe your bait will get some nibbles here. However, in the interest of intellectual discourse, this thread is best left to those with much more experience in emotionally charged faux-debates.
