Romney to teacher "I didn't ask you a question" (VIDEO) 22SEP12

I love teachers and school employees. These people are on the front lines with our nation's kids, 9 months of the year, a vast majority of them giving more than required, doing their very best in crowded classrooms, lacking the necessary tools and materials while trying to meet the expectations of their students and the demands of too many parents who see them not as teachers but as baby sitters. They struggle to teach with outdated materials and a serious lack of the modern tools and technology to do their job. Just imagine where our country would be if we committed the same amount of money we spent on the war in Iraq ($807,246, 640,000 and counting because we still have a sizable US military presence in Iraq). That money could have paid for 11.9 MILLION elementary school teachers for one full school year (according to the US Census "7.2 million: Number of teachers in the United States in 2009. Almost 3 million taught at the elementary and middle school level. The remainder included those teaching at the postsecondary, secondary, preschool, kindergarten levels, special education and other teachers or instructors.

HOW TO HIDE DEAD TREES

THIS is pretty cool. I have a big wall hanging of a wizard from a chainsaw carving contest back home....
                               How to Hide Dead Trees

All the old cottonwood trees in the area of Craig, Colorado, had some disease

and needed to be removed. So the city council approved a Chainsaw competition

in the park and offered a prize. The attached pictures are a result of the competition

in the park. Great artists! Great public service.

And this all came about from just a thought..... Remarkable!
