[AAACE-NLA] moment of silence

[kathleen mccook]

Yes, I agree on a moment of silence for all that we have lost over 
these cruel years since j20,2000--the day our democracy was stolen by 
Cheney's duck-hunting buddy, Scalia, whose son worked for Ted Olson's 
law firm (Ted, the one who argued the case for bush). Too much 
education might allow people to actually remember and be concerned 
about these usurpations of justice.
======================
I think it would be a fine adult literacy lesson to compare the lies 
that led to war with the current statements by this compassionate 
administration. I fear that the reduction in funding is to ensure 
that people cannot be critical in analysis.
   In florida jeb bush has compassionately decided to save money by 
making the  4th year of high school optional. U.S. history is no 
longer required.
