[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] RW: Right Extremists would NEVER go along with points 2 and 3, especially 2, since it would involve removing "under God" from the Pledge and "In God we Trust" from the coins. 1,7,8, and 10 are half-jokes, based on annoying personal experiences. I will explain further. about 1: I saw a special last night about ticket brokers. These legal scalpers use highly unethical means to acquire tickets, jack up the price, by as much as 1000% and resell them to people who will pay a lot more, rather than the fans who stand in line for hours to get them. The tickets sometimes never even reach the ticket windows. Some of them even have multiple credit cards, each with a different name, just so they can sneak by the 8-ticket limit some places have. They usually take all the best seats, and sometimes ALL the seats. This is one of the reasons Billy Joel stopped giving concerts. (not that I watch Billy Joel, but if the same thing happened to me for a Tori concert, I'd want their heads!) about 7: In schools we very much need to give powers of discipline, as well as curriculum, back to the teachers. Despite the recent Columbine-related hoopla over needing "self esteem" in our school system, the truth is that the "real" world doesn't give a damn about your self esteem. Get used to it. about 8: I am a librarian. It is damn annoying, not to mention expensive for everyone, when some rotten p.o.s. obtains a library card, checks out several books, then disappears. Kids' books can cost between $16 - 25 apiece. My budget for Children's books is only $2000. Replacing stolen books can suck up a huge amount of that, and the kids lose out by not having even newer books and a full collection. What's worse is when the people with overdue books live only a short drive away. We send mail to, and usually call, all people with overdue books. And very often we hear: "Yeah, I got 'em. I'll return 'em tomorrow." BUT TOMORROW NEVER COMES! about 10: oh, come on, we've ALL probably seen a huge number of near-accidents or actual crashes caused by idiots who do this. Mostly I wrote this one because some idiot did just that and almost crashed into my car today. I'm actually fairly serious about the rest. But mostly I just felt like starting an argument. bryce: the same percentage of income as the rest of us? [/QB][/QUOTE]
