[quote=FlyerInHi]Actually I feel we need to help poor people get better education.[/quote]

I’m making a leap here brian but I am inferring that when you refer to the ‘poor’ kids you mean ‘low performers’ as schools don’t identify students by parents income.

I’m among the politically incorrect crowd who is in favor of pushing more aid to the gifted kids.

Once you have kids brian, you will see the inner workings of schools and how much $$ is spend on programs to bring low performing kids up. Ever wonder why their are so many ‘syndromes’ now. New syndromes = new fed money for school programs. Correction: fed mandates which is paid at the local level.

Parents are already paying out of pocket for; tutors, enrichment classes, league sports, music lessons, .. it goes on and on. Not just the ‘rich’ but many middle income budget quite tightly to give their kids the best opportunity.

I feel it is a mis-allocation of public funds to ..not.. really spend on the gifted programs as those kids will be the future.

Kinda like spending tons of cash on a racehorse that always finishes last on the hopes that .. someday, with extra training, etc. he will be first.

Ps:Please don’t feel you will gain anything by flaming me and sorry for the threadjack. Just hit on a pet peeve of mine.

Another –Cooking With Brian– segment.

You are quite the connoisseur and need to start a blog.

Just a bit of chewing gum over the lens and all is well 😉

With fewer jobs available, it makes staying in school longer seem ok. And not complaining about impacted classes forcing students to spend an extra year or two on what should be a 4 year program.

Be interesting when toxicology report is out and if cop had a Taser.

You are going to flip when you price auto paint/thinner/ect! $$$$ Brush on hardware store enamel is $ but will fade fast.

Scardey: +1 on resale. probably one of few things 1:1 return on resale.

$6 might be low depending on span, design, etc. Spend the $$ on bearing type hinges, huge footings for side columns, and as Teck mentioned (beefy) steel frame; regardless of design (wood, etc.) Electric opener is nice and can be added later.

HenryPP: Nice read but think about this in respect to the hypocrosity referencing Israel.

Israel purchased the land from Arabs in 1947. Including malaria infested swampland which they drained and constructed homes. Can you fault them for defending it?

Israel certainly believes in the concept of, “opening a can of WhupAss on ya” if you mess with them. Again, can’t say I blame them and actually the US should take a lesson here. ( specifically the nancy boy political environment post WW2 )

And PM Netanyahu sums it up quite well: Silence will be met with silence.

How come no one from Congress down to an investigative news reporter has determined the mechanism and logistics of convincing a parent to give up their kid?

Gotta be a huge coordinated effort before anyone is ever close to the boarder. This is the head of the snake. Same on this side of the border.

Where are the Ethiopians, Somalis, etc. Seems like central America only got the word.

Didn’t know we had so many donut connoisseurs here! Next time you are in Cardiff check out VG Donuts. Good stuff. Across from the Cardiff Kook sculpture which is another reason to go there. 🙂

I dunno. Call them whatever you want, but I think the Murrietta situation quite accurately represents the feeling of the vast majority of legal immigrants and natural born Americans. Be nice if more of those folks voted.

It’s like a stranger walking in your front door sitting down to dinner curling up on your couch and saying, “whats for breakfast?” Just because they are here doesn’t make it right. or legal, ahem.
