Link So are your kids in school? Are you sure? So if you go to school today your "pro-education" and "pro-war"?  |
|
Hmmmm, lets see here. Walk out of school enough, don't get good enough grades. Grades not good enough, don't go to College. Don't go to College, tired of minimum wage and no where jobs. Military recruiter offers job and bonus money. Does anyone else see where this might lead for some of these morons? |

We home school our children, I am tired of public school.........so, today, this is what we have been talking about: On November 16, 1532, Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish explorer and conquistador, springs a trap on the Incan emperor, Atahualpa. With fewer than 200 men against several thousand, Pizarro lures Atahualpa to a feast in the emperor's honor and then opens fire on the unarmed Incans. Pizarro's men massacre the Incans and capture Atahualpa, forcing him to convert to Christianity before eventually killing him. Guess it is kinda in contrast to what other school kids are doing today LOL

A favorite quote of mine! Although if that is true, I don't have a heart! As far as the students go. Just remember, at 17 you had the world figured out too!  |

There are a bunch gathered downtown blocking traffic: "Students rally in Olympia against war THE OLYMPIAN Update: 1:20 p.m. -- About 300 to 400 students from South Puget Sound Community College, Olympia and Capital high schools are flanking both sides of Capitol Way near the Capitol Campus, waving signs and cheering. They have reportedly spilled into the streets and have narrowed both directions of Capitol Way down to one lane each way. ***** Students from elementary school to college in Olympia have walked out of school to rally today against the Iraq War. About a dozen students from Lincoln Elementary walked out of school around 10 a.m. for about a half hour. About 50 students had planned to participate, but only the dozen had parent permission slips. About 100 South Puget Sound Community College students left campus and walked to the Capitol Campus in Olympia, arriving around noon. Olympia High School students planned to leave at noon and walk from the Masonic Cemetery to the Bank of America in downtown Olympia. They then plan to go to the Capitol Campus for a "die in" protest, and then present a petition at lawmaker Brian Baird's office. Students from The Evergreen State College also plan to protest at the Bank of America at around 1 p.m. over its dealings with the environment. They then plan to walk to the Capitol Campus and demonstrate there at 2 p.m. against the war. Some of the gatherings reportedly have spilled into streets, causing some delays for traffic, at least along Deschutes Parkway." Source: http://www.theolympian.com/breakingnews/story/273555.html |

Sigh... "On Saturday, Nov. 17, Olympia Port Militarization Resistance (OlyPMR) will hold a large scale march and demonstration to protest the use of local community resources to support the war in Iraq, and to bring attention to the police brutality experienced by antiwar demonstrators in Olympia over the past two weeks. Saturday will mark day thirteen of a campaign by OlyPMR to stop the war in Iraq by preventing the movement of military equipment. Demonstrators have been engaging in nonviolent direct action, using their bodies to block convoys of Stryker combat vehicles from leaving the port. This march comes on the heels of two weeks of peaceful demonstrations that have been met with excessive force by the police. In one instance, after stopping any movement of military equipment for 17 hours and successfully forcing a convoy back into the port, a line of demonstrators held hands in front of the port gate in nonviolent resistance. Police responded with batons, pepper bullets, and pepper spray, often applied after removing demonstrators’ protective goggles. On Nov. 13, more than two hundred people rallied at the port. Thirty-nine women were arrested while sitting, arms linked, in front of the main gate. At the same time, a group of demonstrators attempted to blockade a second gate and were bombarded by police with tear gas, pepper spray, less-lethal shotgun rounds and concussion grenades. Dozens of people were injured. On Sunday night, demonstrators met at city hall to demand an end to the brutal tactics of the Olympia Police Department. City Councilmember TJ Johnson heard compelling testimony from more than sixty citizens who experienced police brutality over the preceding several days. The march on Saturday will begin at Percival Landing (4th Ave and Water St.) at 1:00 pm, stop briefly at City Hall, then proceed to the Port Plaza for the rally. Community members are available to speak to the press. Contacts: Noah Sochet (510) 325-8138 Andrew Yankey (360) 349-1089 Annamarie Murano (360) 878-1401 Sandy Mayes (360) 878-3238" |
I figured out that if I wanted to party all night, sleep in late, have a girlfriend, have spending money, have a car, insurance, gas money and have my mom get off my back I needed to stay in school, get good grades and have a part time job that paid more than minimum. |
Sounds like someting fun to do after the Quantico get together on Saturday.

I saw these guys handing out flyers at about 11am this morning on my way to class (UW). All the kids dressed like dirty hippies got one, but I was wearing khakis and a polo shirt because I have to go directly from my class to an internship, and I didn't get one! Hell, the dude handing them out didn't even look at me! How dare they judge my political views on how I dress :( |
