AND IN AREAS OF DECLINING SCHOOL ENROLLMENT!!! This in NOT about the kids - it is about NOT reducing the number of unionized teacher jobs (you know, like Dalton McGuinty's wife has)!!! In that same process, this will wipe out small, home-based daycares where a mom stays home with her kids and takes 2-3 other kids in to help ends meet.... Now, these low-income women will loose their jobs - and their 'small businesses' - because those 2-3 'other kids' will be sent to the government subsidized institutions... So, THESE parents will no longer be able to care for their own children!!! This is not about 'the children'! It is about removing choices from stay-at-home parents and taking jobs from low-income women and giving them to overpaid teachers to placate their unions!!!

And bilingual. And a gourmet cook. Or I won't take them back. Forget the MA: I’m holding out for an MVDr at the very least. And bilingual. And a gourmet cook. Or I won’t take them back.

Your last paragraph sounds very similar to a popular movie I saw, I think it was called The Matrix. MB I was thinking the same thing.

We could send a complex virtual reality system into their conscious minds while harvesting their electro-chemical energy. There is obviously a need to disguise this "new deception," or "neo-con" if you will, as a boon for humanity, and it must also perpetuate only liberal values. Perhaps those who obstruct the new world order would be best suited as the first pioneers in this grand experiment. Food for thought?
