It's about time you wised up.
Jim Kennon
Yeah! You are back and organized :) Glad you are helping the faculty at Chatt State. Look forward to reading the Bailout again.
Do you know where Max W. Hackett is now?
How do you plan to defeat Curtis Adams? He has really helped developed recreation in the Chattanooga area. What can you do for recreation?
Those countries are fundamentally designed for transporting people better. This country will never have that because they currently retain at least 36 cents per gallon of gasoline - there's too much money. Those countries are smaller, and have great public transportation. Our country is large, not commuter friendly, and not even pedestrian friendly. Americans can and should complain about fuel costs. I'm all for profit, but a typical fuel company has a net profit (this is after taxes, expenses, etc) of four (4) billion (with a b) dollars (USD) every quarter (3 months). That is a lot of profit, there can be some leverage with rates paid at the pumps. If you're going to compare something, compare it equally, don't generalize it.
Yes, but people in most of the countries that pay more for gas receive much more from their governments for the taxes they pay....if I received more from my government for the taxes (like free college, healthcare, vacation, retirement, etc.) I wouldn't mind the price so much...but in the good ol' USA everything goes up and up but the wages.
I just found this link while searching for the original CNN webpage after hearing about it on the Sean Hannity radio show yesterday afternoon. I would have to agree with Jen. Perhaps if we redistributed a small portion of all those taxes we pay in the US for better roads towards alternative fuels and higher MPG vehicle research we'd be a little better off...
If we had the public transportation and higher gas mileage cars - I wouldn't complain about the cost of gas in Europe. Who cares. American life depends on driving your car. Few people in America (unlike the people in Europe) can live without having a car.
No answer. This is very disturbing.
Weigle where have you been? Did you go to school or are you in school in Hamilton County? If not, please visit a school and see for yourself how underfunded they are.
The schools are in deplorable condition. Our kids are sent to places with broken plumbing, heat and air, and roof leaks. I believe if the county commissioners do not feel it is worthy to fix these problems, then they should move their offices and forum from the Courthouse to CSAS. In fact, the whole courthouse should move into CSAS and let the high school kids have the courthouse. We would then see how fast things get fixed.
That is just the beginning, the outward appearance shows it to us, the things you cannot see such as: teachers pay and learning tools are just as bad.
We need to put education on the top of our list so our children and the community can benefit with a better quality of life.
