Yeah it's weird, I have some mental hang up about the warm blooded and furry critters. I can decapitate and gut a fish with hardly a thought. Maybe I'll start with bird hunting as a bridge. Warm blooded but not furry!

There is no blood lust in my soul. I don't hunt and never have. I will, however, an with no qualms, take out each and every chipmunk and groundhog in our back yard. I hate the varmints.

I also hate the varmints called liberals and communists. I haven't had the opportunity to take out any of them -------------------------- yet.

If NC's shame is Teacher Pay (according to Libertas' map) because they are too low, "they" can KMA.  With the 'product' they're turning out, they should be paying parents -- and the rest of us.

No, OC, often you pay for what you do not get. If paying more meant you got more, New Jersey would have the best educated students, with the highest test scores. They do not. Pretty much middle of the road scores for the highest pay does not seem like they get what they pay for at all.

True. But think about what happens when the lowest pay is involved.

As it happens, NC teacher pay ranks at 46th in the nation.  Of course, the cost of living is lower here, comparatively speaking, than some of the higher paying states, although I have no idea what's up with Wyoming.

But, in my opinion, that is "neither here nor there".  Aka, it doesn't matter. 

If any want a discussion about teachers and their pay, we can start another thread in the "education" section because I have plenty of non-happy-crappy to say about the issue.

Education + Politicians + Lottery = more money for politicians to scam & steal.

Both Michigan and Florida used the excuse that getting the lottery would be great for education, while I lived there.   Well the only thing in both states that happened, all of a sudden all lottery money went into the 'general fund' to be handled by the politicians, and the education system keeps on failing.
Now Colorado has vetoed to legalize 'pot' for the benefit of education, and a couple of other states are talking about the same scam.

Same for every other funding scam...tobacco settlement, trans taxes, whatever...goes into the general fund and blown on rent-seeking trash...some are called teachers.  Yes, I said it!  Many teachers are rent-seeking trash...because they put their welfare and their union ahead of the chirren, then hide behind those chirren and accuse others of hating chirren and teachers if they fail to submit to the annual tithe some call a levy!

To Hell with them, call me whatever you want...it's not going to change my mind and suddenly make me agree to your extortion scheme!

Almost the same thing happened here in NC.  We from other states (mine was NJ) who knew the score tried to tell 'em what would happen.  Did they listen?  No.  So, once the whinging started -- because the State education budget was reduced by the lottery money amount -- we got to say 'toldja bitchez'.

Hey I voted to legalize Pot. I figured the more mellow they are the easier they will be to round us when the time comes, and the more likely they are to forget to vote - or do anything.  Let it Burn.

My recollection for Michigan was that the lottery proceeds were to be directly applied to fund education.  What was not said that all other funding would be withdrawn dollar for dollar so that in effect lottery money simply displace other money so that the other money could be spent elsewhere.  No net increase in education funding, just a direct tax increase on those who pay to play.   ::cussing::

Your recollection is correct - not just Michigan though Florida did the same thing.  Florida still boasts 'giving X amount to education', but not reporting the equal reduction from the state.  But the 'lawmakers' have the extra in the general fund.  [So they can spent it wisely ]

We started the lottery in Tennessee "for the children".....and I don't really care how the poor spend their money but I HATE pulling into a market and WAITING on some shlub to purchase their lottery tickets. I don't know about every other state, but here there are around a kajillion games which can be played.  When my slurpee is melting, I get ill.

And our education system is no better.
