Well, Mexico decided that they want it back, and not a shot needs to be
fired this time. I believe that they are taking your state as well this
time around. <GD&R>

It is sad, that is why I called my teachers overpaid. I heard them whine
about their pay for many years, when most of the teachers were
babysitters at best.
If you wanted to learn drafting at my high school, you were taught by a
man who was drunk on the job.
Math, better hope you didn't get the man who was not as good as the top
20% of his 10th grade class in solving math problems. It goes on and on.
The incompetence was glaring even to a teenager, and the viewpoint has
not changed with age. These teachers sucked in a way that is hard to
believe.
To top it off, they only had to perform their job badly for 9 months, so
sympathy from me about their low pay was hard to come by.
