When Bush started the No Child Left Behind program I was happy. Now I still have kids in my class who don't know how to read and I'm in the 6th grade. He started that program, made a speech and that was about it. Plus school fundings haven't gone up. We get horrible, slow computers. Our books are almost 10 years old. There aren't even locks in the bathroom stalls. It seems like he wouldn't care if I flipped hamburgers for the rest of my life or if I became the president. As long as he doesn't want to see the problem, he can't fix it. I predict if Kerry gets elected he'll do the same thing. Doesn't anyone care about our education? I mean the least Bush could do was to stop feeding us mystery meat at school. It's not fair that he gets a good school and I can't even get changes that cost $10.
What do you think?

As for Bush, what's not to like about the man? He's dumb, he was an alcoholic and he used cocaine! Sounds like a regular party animal to me.
I fancy his daughter. I wonder if she'd be interested in an old commie?
Originally posted by crythiasWithout wishing to rake over the whole issue about the Florida count and who really one etc, I think its worth stating that if a country is going to set itself up as the world's police force (whether we like it or not), and sets out to bring Western-style democracy and economics to other parts of the world (whether they want it or not), then that country really has to get its own house in order first.
Bush still won the count in Florida, so don't go there.
I'm not fan of Gore, but the fiasco in the last presidential elections, and the problems with the electronic voting systems which almost certainly means the next election will be open to question, means that the US is in no position to lecture anyone else on how to run they're country.
Similarly, invading a country to free them from a dictator who tortures people only to have the 'liberators' dishing out the same torture negates any case the West might have.
