Like walking around the lake... http://www.kstp.com/article/stories/S12383.html?cat=1 I wonder if RT has the balls to tell them that?

So the member of the Traffic committee is partly responsible for this beating?
That would be the liberal stance.

I think the liberal stance would be that we need more cops, and that if this person called 911, he wouldn't have been beaten. And be thankful neither of them had a gun.

...And he never would have been beaten if the youths weren't from an impoverished socio-economic community with under-funded education and disparate employment opportunities.

"Under-funded education"? Education funding in Minn is the biggest BLACK HOLE for finances. "Smaller class size", "More teachers", "Better resources",.......these are the cries I've heard for over 40 yrs......and nothing has (or will) happen....just a slush fund for for school systems.
The inflation rate for 2005 (Oct 2004 - Sept 2005) was 4.5%. Why do all school districts + the university system have a 'proposed' TAX INCREASE of 3x the inflation rate? St Cloud University has raised tuition in EXCESS of 12% each yr over the last 3 yrs.....why?

Goose, Goose, take it easy Buddy. I think Squib_Joe had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
After all, only one-half of our entire state budget goes for education.
(ought to make for some real smart kids, huh?)

I don't knowhow to explain this to you about the university (I currently attend UMN-TC), but its the biggest beurocracy I've ever seen. I never truely understood what people meant by 'beurocracy' until I was here.
Here is a tastey example: I worked for the dorm computer labs, to which we were in possession of 40 laptops in one of the labs. These had to have been at least $1500 a pop when purchased ($60,000 total). Do you know who used them? No one. I believe they were originally intended to be rented with some nominal fee---$50 per semester or close to--but no one did. So there 40 laptops sat in one of the lab. The lab workers got together and asked our boss if we could take one each as a nice incentive for the job but that got 'nixed because of liablity concerns. We can't have them, and no one takes them, so they just sit and get older without any use.
I don't even want to begin about the whole Aramark issue--its even worse.
