I think our whole Aragon community should take part in wishing our soldiers a Happy Holiday season. We should express our gratitude for their work out there. More power to the Aragon Peace Club for doing this. I am happy to make cards and have students at the computer lab make the messages for the soldiers.

If you would like to read how this happens please see: http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2007/03/spyagency200703 I am a 2 tour Vietnam Veteran who recently retired after 36 years of working in the Defense Industrial Complex on many of the weapons systems being used by our forces as we speak. Politicians make no difference. Through a combination of public apathy and threats by the MIC we have let the SYSTEM get too large. It is now a SYSTEMIC problem and the SYSTEM is out of control. Government and industry are merging and that is very dangerous. There is no conspiracy. The SYSTEM has gotten so big that those who make it up and run it day to day in industry and government simply are perpetuating their existance. The politicians rely on them for details and recommendations because they cannot possibly grasp the nuances of the environment and the BIG SYSTEM. So, the system has to go bust and then be re-scaled, fixed and re-designed to run efficiently and prudently, just like any other big machine that runs poorly or becomes obsolete or dangerous. This situation will right itself through trauma. I see a government ENRON on the horizon, with an associated house cleaning. The next president will come and go along with his appointees and politicos. The event to watch is the collapse of the MIC.

(This came up on a daily google search). NCLB only says "equal access"- the military is certainly getting much more than equal access. The Seattle Board put fairly strict rules in last year: let me know if you want to see them, to show your board. Kathy Barker kbarker715@comcast.net Good luck from Seattle.
