Well, seems that what folks want to hear has little to do with volume but more in something that makes 'em feel good. Ahhhh, not to be confuzerated with the truth, now. So when George Dubya gets up and says things like "No child left behind" everyone feels good. Hey, they got to dig real deep in the A section of their newpapers to find that Bush won't authorize the money to impliment the educational reforem legislation that he signed into law. Bottom line: public eductation is now being held accountable with standardized tests but the money to bring public education up to speed isn't being spent! But don't we all feel good knowin' that "no child is being left behind'? Meanwhile, behind the "no child left behind" scenes, Bush and his buddies are not only no funding the "no child left behind" but they are now stealin' money from public eduaction with school vouchers????

So a lot of kids are being left behind in the *new and improved* "no child left behind* program. Actually, more kids are being left behind now than before the "no child left behind" program... But who cares. We still got NASCAR, Budweieser and Country Music, don't we???...
