"Maybe if they were a better student they could have gotten a scholarship or grant."
LOL...wow! If colleges gave scholarships to everyone who is a good or even a great student, they'd never collect any tuition. You truly don't live in the real world. There is a reason why most kids, regardless of smarts, have to take out loans to finish school. My son Deans Listed every semester at NAU, and he was never able to get more than 5k in total scholarships over his 3 1/2 years. Luckily, i was able to foot the bill for the rest. Most of his friends aren't so lucky. And not all kids can work their way through college. At NAU alone (in Flagstaff) there are 17,000 kids. If even half of them need to work their way through, you think there are 8000 available jobs during the schoolyear for students in a town of 60,000 people?
You're being silly....and as typical of most of your posts, you lack any empathy for people. You don't have to hate Unions because Rush tells you to.
Maybe you are the one who does not understand how things work b/c grants and scholarship are paid to the school.
WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS NONSENSE HAVE TO DO WITH UNIONS?
I'm thinking maybe Andrea doesn't fully understand this portion of the Constitution: Bill of Rights Transcript
Indeed. The Constitution is NOT the sole description of our rights. It is just the basic bedrock of those rights - the MINIMUM which we are guarenteed no matter what. Other rights and priviledges are layerd on top of that bedrock over time and as new situations and conditions arise. Like most of the so-called "Constitutionalists" she really doesn't seem to understand that fact.

I have nothing else to say to you, aside from to tell you that you are a rude human being.
That's because you can't respond with any facts. You JUST have your OPINION that you don't like unions. You try to take away someone else's RIGHTS and you are surprized that they act "rude". It's their RIGHT and your want to take it away from them.
If you don't like unions, don't join one. Instead you want to take away OTHER PEOPLES rights to do so?

What certainly seems to be a complete inability to empathize.........
