No Comment-
This week I started to read a new book. It is called Teeth of the Tiger by Tom Clancy. It is a very intriguing subject matter. I find that the two brothers, one being a marine and the other being in the FBI know a lot about terrorism. The government finds this information out and recruits one of the brothers for a Special Forces job. The government secretly wants to know whether the other brother may make a viable candidate for the program also.
I really enjoy the parts of the book when there is so much tension. This includes the part of the book when Dominic Caruso is on a case about a child being abducted. He ends up shooting the kidnapper three times and killing the kidnapper. Sadly, the girl was already dead. Special Agent Caruso is very “play it by the book” type of person. He does not like being messed with and will do what he is told only. I like his attitude and look forward to seeing it in more of the book.
I really have to write about this subject, not that it is very interesting or fun to write about but the people in it are really being arbitrary. The teachers contract issue is really getting stupid. I see teachers wearing those buttons and I say, “What can I do”. Really, I can do nothing because of the bull-mess known as the board of education and the funding that the school district receives. Also, it does not help that our superintendent just left the school district in the middle of a budget crisis and we have yet to get back on our feet. This is sickening. What the teachers really need is a multi-year contract so that they and the rest of the people do not get tucked into a situation like this again. I hope the teachers learn that parents and students can do nothing except pay their taxes. It is time for us to take out the trash with the Board of Education and the State of Michigan.
Have your say!
