Hey, Mav;

Hola, amigo. I hear you are in some need of fire support.

Strangely, I seem to recall that the title of this area had to do with music; yet all I seem to be seeing is a bunch of twisting-in-the-wind leftists seeing red that their boy, AlGore, didn't get elected and cause another shooting war in this country.

That at least one person in here, an admitted "proud" socialist (isn't that an oxymoron?) is a teacher in a pub- lic school pretty much explains why the system has failed so miserably over the past couple of decades. I've seen schools in Third World countries that had a better stan- dard of education than a lot of the public schools here.

Some of these people are also, obviously, products of that system and the outcome-based bull utilised therein.

The Sniper is ranging...
