Welcome to Harvard, enjoy your ed-u-ma-kay-shun

It happened again. No, not the shattering of my boyhood hopes and dreams, although that is a good guess. The funding referendum for the school district, D50, didn't pass yet again. Good job, schmucks. Instead of raising your property taxes by a functional 0.65%, you've denied the school district the money it needed to continue it's extra-cirrucular activities, including football and wrestling, which is basically what the damn school did. You want lower property taxes to attract new growth? Great idea! Thats what I look for in a new area where I'm looking at raising a family! To hell with the schools and civic quality of life, I just want me some low-ass rates!

It finally makes sense... this law was passed by people with no kids, or people who are bitter, and want nothing better in the world for children than what they had. Give them a small one-room schoolhouse, I hear you cry, and slap them on the knuckles when "they done bad." That'll learn 'em... or we could stop being entirely ignorant, and realize that we won't be around when our kids are our age, and the better we treat them, the better they treat their kids, and the world in general. But noooooooo. Nice job, dumb-asses. You've killed the Harvard School system, possibly for good. How does it feel, driving the stake through the hearts of your children, dooming them to low-paying jobs at Walmart (sidenote: Walmart can burn in hell.)

I hope to spit in your casket at your funeral, those of you who don't support education... I'll drink a shitload of eggnog before hand.
