A "home invasion" at 8:30 p.m. sounds a little suspect to me. I hate to assume it, but those involved may know each other...perhaps not in a good way. Is this another drug deal gone wrong rather than a "home invasion gone wrong?"
Honestly? Everything about this dog is already a sunk cost. He already knows to chase down the criminals running away from him. I'll give him Kibbles and Bits for a year...I can't imagine that costing more than a couple hundred bucks! If the costs that AgentSTS states are true, then I have a keen little Shitzu (sorry, but apparently Komo edits the spelling of this breed of dog automatically, but I'm sure you've figured out what type of dog I have) that I would like to put on the payroll in Grays Harbor. She may not give you a deathly bite, but she will lick you so playfully that the criminal can't help but to stop running and give her a cuddle!...and then the cops can cuff them.
I've turned out just fine after I spent 12 years in a poorly funded Catholic school, but was educated by dedicated and caring teachers whose only focus was to teach us the necessary skills and such to succeed...and those teachers received far less in salary than these public school teachers. Throwing more money into this joke of a public school system does NOTHING, except flush more tax dollars down the drain...which seems to be the goal of our governor. If you want to improve the system, then hire and manage teachers that are willing to TEACH our children. What I've noticed is that these teachers only teach things that show up on the WASL...guess what, in my day to day life and in my business, I don't run into any WASL comparable questions or issues! These additional funds literally could just be flushed down a toilet and have the same results, because our public officials are incapable and too incompetent to use them wisely.
I would imagine that this works no differently than the Good To Go passes for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (basically debiting an account that you have tied to a credit card or such). It is super efficient and easy. I've experienced no problems with that system, so I hope that this system is as efficient and effective. Now if only the revenues from the Good To Go passes stop funding other regions and that the "projects" using these funds are in areas of those that are funding it.
In your little Cut and Paste stats there, it clearly states that it is "half of the world's MILITARY expenditures." NOT half of our GDP. There is a HUGE difference.
The bigger point here is that this teacher found a far cheaper way to fund his classroom than the government is able to do. Obviously, it is sick that he needed to get sponsorships for his classroom supplies...but what the heck are these school districts spending their money on...I'm sure when they organize it they couldn't have gotten nearly two years worth of paper for one teacher for less than $315. Way to go Teacher!!!
Those 2/3s of people probably commited the crime in which they are on death row for. Who cares what race or ethnicity they are...if they did the crime, then finish them off! Trust me, the cost for keeping someone on death row is NOT greater than life in prison. Speed up the process and execute them. I'm always impressed that the people defending these criminals have spelling and grammar errors throughout their postings. A note to all future deathrow inmates, please commit your crime on these people and then they will finally change their viewpoints and realize that you are worthless pieces of trash and should be put to death promptly.
Well said BobbyLama...you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm sure a lot of people will bring up the fact of those that run into unexpected health/medical issues...but those are just a portion of the mess. Most of these debt collectors are tracking down debts from people that shouldn't have bought what they did in the first place because they can't afford it. Oh great, here comes another group to bail out!
How is it possible that there are negative points to those questioning Katie on the possibility of seeing a dead baby "driving by?" Yet, Katie has positive points for her statement? If you are driving by, you wouldn't see anything...I drive a lot and I don't look inside garbage cans as I drive. Nothing in the story said the woman was "driving." She obviously saw it, (probably walking by) and if you see something like this, you probably would take a second look. Unbelieveable!
No matter whether the girl did it or a doctor did it, the fact is that a life was taken...there are plenty of families that would have loved to have brought this baby into their lives and cared for it as it deserved.
