What's typical and why the straw man argument? No facts? "Or are you all ideology like the goon" I would be careful w/ assumptions. I could assume you are a "GOON" in the way you speak of your mother and the fact that you are not helping her and expect society to do it. She raised you, don't be douche. BTW, you sir, are the hypocrite. you expect society to help your mother , yet, you won't..........................

You can start doing "your part" by caring for your mother and her medical needs instead of leaving it to society. Where do we send the bill? If people like you took care of their own, society wouldn't have to do it.

Ridiculous. Next thing you know, just like King County, life jackets required to enter the water. No incidents period, but we get the ole emotional, "if we can save one child, if we can prevent one incident".........Blah, blah blah. Got to love people who know nothing about guns legislating the activity. Just gun control via incrementalism. No other reason for this. Bunch of NIMBY clowns must have moved to Oly from Cali.

Verbal taunts are sexual abuse now? "There are no injuries," said Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux. "If she was touched at all it was very lightly, so she didn't suffer any physical injuries. She is mad, understandably, distraught about the situation and not happy that it happened to her."

WHAT?!!!!! Despicable to say the least. The teachers union itself should crucify her. But we know they won't, because they are the very reason she only needs to do 8 hours of training.....Really? Maybe someone can clear this up for me. I know many examples of kids who get expelled for drawing guns, a fight, drinking underage, wore an American flag shirt to school on Cinco de Mayo or saying, "I hate my teacher and wish they were dead" just ONCE. Yet a teacher can be a demeaning bullying a-hole for years to a developmentally disabled person and that's ok. How the heck does that work? No problem, complete this class and you're A-OK. FFS, she has no moral compass, zero compassion and no class. That can't be corrected in 8 hours. She is not a wayward adolescent. She is a supposed adult educator and this mistreatment spanned years. She should be fired at the very least but will be protected. Disgusting.

That's $37,500 per school. I thought the kids were our future? And $7.6 MILLION for UW and WSU to help fund out of state non residents, most of which are from outside the country is ludicrous. We just had a non citizen hire on to Boeing, had Boeing pay for engineering school and the very year he/she earned their Aerospace Engineering degree left the state and went to work elsewhere. Unfortunately, it's pretty typical. So I agree, it's all smoke and mirrors.
