A bitch thought that was interesting, since tenure is usually a good way to attract teachers. Yet Arnold wants to take that away...Sigh.

Ahnold has special high-end canvassers who are salary, not per-signature, earners, who stand in front of stores (like Target, from which they are banned and physically escorted every single day) and preach misinformation. Stuff like "let the people decide, not the (sneary voice) legislature." Yeah, let's not let our elected officials do the jobs the people elected them to do, or anything. <BR/><BR/>The moment this fool was elected (which was just the shocking pinnacle of stupidity after the unbelievable actual decision to actually have a recall election) was the moment I dropped my naive post-20-something-omniscient-everyone-knows-everything-or-at-least-something-I-don't posture and went back to believing that the general populace is made up of effing idiots. I swear I heard people seriously honestly gleefully fist-wavingly shouting "I'm voting for the Terminator." <BR/>Shudder.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611509047929603610noreply@blogger.com
