It’s based on the theory that everybody is as corrupt as they are.

It’s like Cokie Roberts standing in front of a camera and stating that “everybody does it” while referring to Clintons sleeping with everything he can get close to.

Excuse me Cokie, but my circle of friends and acquaintances don’t, but apparently you and your acquaintances do, and why did you need to tell us that you are a little round in the heels?

I never could get her to interview me on national TV…. bummer dude!

As far as kids go, every kid showing up for the first day of kindergarten wants to be something - a fireman, a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, a mom or a dad. In this district, 12 years later, 30% are dropouts. They came wanting to learn, the system turned them into dropouts.

If it had not been proven by other districts that they can change, can reform, and can improve, then maybe it could be blamed on the parents or kids. But schools and school districts have shown marked improvement without finding new parents, new kids or new demographics. It can be done, just not locally at this point.

And I disagree with the concept of the government the only entity endowed with the skills and knowledge to educate our children.

The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution forbids that which is nor specifically enumerated to the federal government.

But, even an indepth study of that document reveals no such enumeration.

And it is a sad state of affairs to need to rely on “yeah, but ours isn’t as crooked and dishonest as yours”.

We, as voters from both sides, really need to get a ‘none of the above’ on the ballot so we can truly express our choices we get shoved down our throats.

How about they threw a party that would have put both harvard and yale fraternities to shame?

When pelosi and reid declared the ’surge’ a failure before the first boot hit the soil, they just rolled over and took a nap?

Perhaps Mr. Oswald should stick to the comics as he suggests.

The ‘comics’ section of the papers are more reliable than the sources he uses.

I, re read your letter’s heading, got off this page and went to GJS’s employment page. First off, there is no “Farm Worker” classification, none. Then when I did a Yahoo Job search of the same, there weren’t any job listings found in our area either, none.

When my brother and I were kids, young teenagers, we made $20.00 bucks a day sorting tomatoes on a six man/woman picking crew. He and I were the only ones on the job that spoke English. In the afternoon the job foremen would come along, we would sign a labor record sign in sheet and got paid at the end of the day. Big bucks back then.

Work was hard but steady, if you’ve ever picked tomatoes you know what I mean. Daily temperatures got up to 115 degrees during the summer months in the valley there with few breaks, all that being said, hard work is not a distant relative of mine. Speaking of hard work, I was a single dad of six for a while, if you’ve ever been a single parent you know what I mean. :O) Finding work from area farmers? I can’t find any, with basic research applied, I still don’t know where to look, who’s fault is that?

Mr. Harris, I don’t know you at all. My letter here is based on what I read from your own hand. It seems Sir that you want workers but do not want to pay them their worth, paying under the table, paying un-educated, and a transient type labor pool are the norm for farm labor’s I know, I’ve seen it first hand; you Mr. Harris say differently. Sorry, but of me, I am none of those, I guess my self worth comes into play here. I can earn my keep picking tomatoes, peaches or researching a persons self-worth and to develop a website to prove it, Farm owners though do not want to pay what an individual is worth, and then they gripe about the poor or lacking labor pool. Seems like some area farmers have created their own problem when it comes to the pay scale, the rest of the US have created a problem by not correcting the illegal immigrant problem before now.
