Looks like the school levy for my school district, Centenial passed. I am very happy to see that happen. Not only did it pass, but it did so by a pretty wide margin (58% for, 42% against). If you know me, you know that I'm not fond of taxes and the amount I pay per day to stay in my own house staggers me. At the same time I don't really want to live in a place with lousy schools. Having the lowest operating levy of any school in the metro area, I'm really glad my neighbors saw fit to restore some funding to our schools.
Politics: November 2005 Archives
About a year ago I wrote a little post about Theo Van Gogh. If you don't remember he was a Dutch film maker who died because he offended a religious fanatic.
It's sad to me to think the world doesn't seem to be a better place and there is no sign that it will be any better any time soon.
