 You are so right! But look at all the corporations that argue against 
School levy propositions to keep their taxes low... 
 
 And all the people that complain about crime in their area... Kids with 
no opportunities and no hope will turn to crime to get the money they 
need!  And lots of folks don't see the connection between bad schools 
and high crime! Another ARGH!
