I heard some more shocking news. School teachers are quitting their careers because they don't feel safe in the classrooms and they have no way to control unruly students who disrupt classes. Educators are too close and don't see an obvious answer. The problem started in the seventies, with the law that forbids corporal punishment in classrooms. It's a good law, but they haven't incorporated alternative means of discipline. Kids in upper grades now do whatever nasty things they please and get rewarded by feelings of power and peer admiration. Schools get sued for using ordinary discipline.

Time has come to build a 'we'

It is an irrefutable fact that human beings have an incredible propensity and skill for finding fault with, and focusing on, the most negative aspects of any given situation. We love to point fingers at others shortcomings (ignoring our own) and imagine ourselves much more skilled and capable people than the objects of our scorn. We love to shout from rooftops that the sky is falling in and all is wrong with our world. We enjoy making blanket statements and obese generalizations about ills. We are also very afraid of putting egos and emotions aside in order to seek the truth, because sometimes pure truth doesn't fit in with what our mind wants to believe.

Once again, 'misinformed' hurt workers

In response to the letter titled, "Once again, Bush hurts Americans," written by Mary Ann Rowe (April 22, 2004), I would like to say, "Shame, shame on you." This article stated that Bush's administration has hurt Americans by cutting overtime pay for workers that make more than $23,660 a year. Then it went on and on about the average workers not being able to "make ends meet" and how they are "stripped" from their overtime rights. I am not sure what twisted source that she got her information from, but upon my research here are some facts that actually pertain to the redefining of the overtime rules:

War on terrorism is one we have to win

Although I don't disagree with the author of the letter in the April 29 edition about General Petraus, his characterization of the president and his administration as being illegitimate, corrupt, and arrogant is not only childish, untrue, and ignorant, it's unbecoming of a former marine. He should get his head out of the jar, stop listening to left-wing propaganda, and realize that we are engaged in a world-wide war. To be sure there's been mistakes in policy and timing, but this is a war that we have to win.
