it is absurd to think you will get more qualified people willing to work a job when you cut their pay and benefits. while teachers are routinely required to get Master's Degrees. In short, they are better then you, they worked harder then you, and, yes, they are better people then you.

It is so hard to work and go to night school to get a master's degree.
Sounds to me like your bitter that you were forced to
get a Masters to get a teaching job. Couldn't get one
with just that B.A. Competition too stiff You do
know, there isn't a shortage of graduating teachers.
Better watch out - there's one waiting in the wings,
just in case someone gets fired

From the OP, that was.

Yeah, I think a final straw was today when not just Fox, but ABC also, covered the fraudulent notes doctors were handing out.

Reminds me of the union I was in years ago. I was in the minority that did not want to strike, but we had to. Anyway, the union heads encouraged union workers to go into grocery stores and fake shopping to leave refrigeration food in carts so it would spoil.

That was not all, either.

So the theft of time in Wisconsin sounds right up there with what I've experienced in a union out here.

I am very surprised there are not more from out of state. The Koch assault is trying to go Nationwide. It needs to be stopped in Wisconsin.

I give you A for effort. I am so happy to watch the lefties twist themselves into knots trying to justify this. It is going to be so much fun watching them after this bill passes, too funny.

Ok so to address your non sense. A filibuster is an acceptable democratic tool. Dereliction, not so much. It subjects the Senator to detention by the police and the removal of funds to run their office, filibuster not so much.


We wait to be entertained by the next installment of your informed screeds. It does provide for gales of laughter. Keep up the good work!

It won't be.

However, I'm delighted to hear about these Koch brothers.

I'll begin donating to their cause immediately!
