back in the 60's I went to my high school, West Covina Hs. and visited the library there, in the history section, I could not believe my own eyes! Most all the books were authored by the nutso John Birch Society! Not surprising, as West Covina was a rich Rethuglican city, and all the students drove muscle cars and were Country Club brats.slideman » 15 Feb 2023, 12:14 pm » wrote: ↑ They are liberal because they are experts in facts and truth and left is based in facts and Truth while the right is based on lies and falsehoods.
The fundamental principle of your party is a lie. The lie is that there is a good chance you will be a millionaire someday and that low taxes on the rich will benefit you.
You're probably not going to be a millionaire. Low taxes for the rich benefit the oligarchs of the Republican party at the expense of everyone else.
Carry on fool

I don't think you understand. There is a whole prison market out there that will gladly hold you regardless of of your innocence or guilt.

Same problems they have in places like Lexington for example.
Those problems are endemic to cities right now for several reasons.
Ronald Reagan closed all the mental health facilities.
We do not have sufficient housing stock for the population.
There's so much money here property values have gone up to the point that a normal person cannot afford to buy a house or rent.
These are real problems that you have no interest in solving as far as I can see you use them as a cudgel to beat us over the head with.
According to you the problem is democratic governance of the cities but Republican cities are not doing any better.
I'm all for DISMISSING charges for or even legalizing casual drug use and hefty fines for non violent offenses instead of prison. But dangerous people shouldn't be walking the streets.ScottMon » 15 Feb 2023, 8:48 pm » wrote: ↑ How many people are convicted for non-violent charges again? Smoking a joint?

But embezzle other people's personal time evolving as one of a kind, makes one a savior of humanity in their own mind and social narrative.

However...
I know of a local guy that has...
Shoplifting
Selling cocaine..
Selling stolen goods..
Assaulted his girlfriend
And of course leaving the seen of an accident...

Not so much what it is, but what it does protect every generation forward since establishing humanity's greater good intentions.

ha ha ha ha ha ha. grade level expectations?

In 55 Chicago Public Schools, not one student met grade level expectations in either math or reading during the 2021-2022 school year, according to a Wirepoints report.
In 930 schools within the state, just one out of ten students meet math grade-level expectations, the report stated. In 622 Illinois schools, one out of ten students, or fewer, are reading proficiently.
