Thank you for sharing.

Sharing, as you have done, is a wonderful opportunity to receive educational information that is not otherwise available without such a sacrifice of a persons time and effort.

Not for myself to read what has been posted and to show and display to other readers in this public forum, that you care enough to forward your thoughts in such an intelligent, creative, reflective, manner and style.

The fact that you have taking the time to put in writing, gives me an impressive, albeit short, niggling insight and nature as to your caring capacity for others.

Sic Statement. “My four year old writes more clearly then you do.”

Answer. Congratulations are in order for this accomplishment, indeed!

As with most hybrid seeds, and highbrows, rebreeding with similar hybrids results in ’inbreeding’ and the resultant seed or what-have-you, are not as productive; congratulations therefore, on having withstood the rigors of a successful adoption.

Have you notified the biologically responsible couple that your child, under your expert guidance, and at the age of four years, in your opinion, is/would be more thoughtful, would be more considerate, has cognitive skills far beyond your expectation, and your own competency?

Many readers in this space would probably welcome postings from your child.

Clearly, the child’s writings should prove to be more insightful, charitable, intelligent and time-worthy to discuss, than with the child’s less fortunate caretaker.

Sic Statement. “My eyes started to bleed reading your diatribe.”

Answer. I will not be financially responsible for your medical condition.

You have choices available.

To read my rant and suffer, or

save your money, taxpayer medicaid payments and avoid incurring serious, life threatening, medical maladies.

Sic Statement. “You are an angry, hateful, bitter soul, for whom there is no hope.”

Answer. Guilty, as to all your accusations.

My caretaker, who reads these postings to me, generally says that I should not reply to writers who express their intellect with derisive remarks.

But, in this instance, my caretaker thought it would be emotionally and medically beneficial if I had the time to deliberate, and then in my defense, take and offensive posture and reply carefully. I was on my prescribed medications when I penned those hallucinations.

Without these medications, my rhetoric will not be as charitable and as well stated as you have been able to accomplish and post here.

Sic Statement. “How can anyone have a intelligent discussion with a ranting lunatic such as you?”

Answer. I am not a lunatic. I confess to an occasional rant… or, two

I have medical documentation with medically stated opinions from psychiatrists and psychologist’s, which could refute your statement to the contrary, and carry it with me whenever I am on the van, and have a pass from the home.

Assuming you are as highbrow, learned and cognitively cogent as you seem to imply.. why would you want to discuss anything with me?

Then, how do you justify responding in such a manner to bother and waste your precious intellectual capacity, abilities and precious time, not in the pursuit of constructive criticism,

but rather, to otherwise show your opposite intellectual capacity, to deride, chaff, contemn, disparage, do-a-number-on, dump-on, jeer, mock, pan, put-down, ridicule, scoff, scorn, slam, sneer, and taunt another person’s opinion…?

you sic, are such wit..

no… not… but rather, with misgivings, a witless twit… pardon my lapses in my synapses.

So…

Have you a medical statement from your psychiatrist/psychologist, proving that you are NOT,

as you say that I am?

What if any documentation to the contrary, can you provide, and do you carry as evidence to prove otherwise?

Sic,

Better to let your four-year old write under their own pseudonym.

It would be a welcome relief to be able to have an intelligent discussion with him/her.

Today the AP portioned out another myopic gaze at Michigan's governor [Rich, Rick, Snider‘s] ‘economic-tech cloud‘, saying in essence:

the state should capitalize on its brightest economic outlook in a decade….

by opening its checkbook to school districts [that embrace thinking in the technological cloud]:

but only [for] those that can show their students actually are learning [what] from year to year…

Thank goodness for Rich Rick,

otherwise, the comments section here wouldn't have all his c. r. a .p. to think about.

Now view his scene from his latest new economic ‘weed’ therapy induced economic ‘cloud‘, from our non medically induced cloudless perspective…

BTW, it would be of interest to know if good old Rich has a bone-i-fides medical marijuana card, that could possibly relate to his vaporous economic stupors, possibly induced from his legislative minions’ smoke-filled legislative corridors ?

According to Rich’s new therapeutically induced cloud, school districts such as Gross Point Farms’ bucolic manicured manors’ school districts, cattle, would probably be entitled for more of real taxpayers excess tax payments from state coffers,

then our local, wayward school districts here in the upper peninsula, because we all know yooupers don’t deserve none of them rich troll’s bucks, no how, we’s not breeding the same intellectual cattle up here…

Troll-like legislative types always counter spending for districts north of Owosso, above the Straits, in the UP,

‘cause they hain’t got no inbreeding likes Gross Point Farms’ trophy cattle chattel…

Next, Rich’ll be puffing up more smokie vapors about letting teachers choose the students they want to teach,

because top students, like top atheletes, will bring in more cash to selective schools and even more if he can turn public school districts into charter school districts…

Think of the money, his ALEC buddies in the private sector education franchise business can bank, by this slick-of-hand privatization scheme for in-trouble public schools…

Let the bidding begin…

‘who’ll up the bid on Maggie Magpie, she’ll bring us Rich’s extra bucks…

and what am I bid for Goofy McGoof-off?

You kids!

All your bluster about these elemental ‘life and death’ issues for polling is deathly frightening…

Really, the poll should be, that won’t ever be, or not to be:

“Are the rich, the corporations, the plutocracy and the oligarchy crowds getting the most bang for their bucks?

And are they spending enough of their money wisely, to give you ‘kids’ the best representation for you, that their money can buy?

Keep in mind, the rich are getting richer, and you, not they, are progressively paying more as a percentage of your gross income on taxes…

while they escape with, what could be less money to spend on campaign financing for people who‘ll give them more and better tax relief, and keep sticking it to the rest of us, if only we had real stand-up representatives, instead of the ones the rich are buying for us to vote for today…

while every day, they pass another ‘bill’, and then they have the guile to send their agents to brag about their achievements, all the while you*****it up, while they stick it to you, and you gladly applaud your approval.

But none of this dog and pony show is for your benefit…

but for their benefit, so they can spend more for political campaigns, for you to elect better representatives for themselves that will pass more ‘bills’ so you can pay more taxes

Try and wrap your tiny attention spans around that load of crap, if you will.

The largest concerns here are, it would appear, not in any particular intellectual sequence:

How many orange suited court pictures will the press show on the front page tomorrow?

Bar-hopping, pool playing, medical marijuana growing - best practices, darts, darting, texting, snowmobiles, bait piles, fishing stories about non-existent fishies, mud-races, four-wheeling, out-house races, snowmobile racing, and the scores of sources for your versions or reality, but in reality, is really non-reality at its most perverted delusion,

and the perverted talking heads who you credit as your source for ’news‘, but really what you are seeing and listening to are a bunch of made-up and fabricated male and female bimbos who aren’t worth a twit let alone a tweet or the equivalent value of a sentence from tweety.

@balboud, I'll agree with you on that.. And offer 'one poll' they'll never ask here.. "Are we a valid source of your news"? "And, what price do you think the DP is worth"?

In this day of 'electronic' news media, smartphones, tablet computers, and the internet, radio, and television.. a "Newspaper" rarely scoops any of those mentioned above, and so.. are simply, "Day old reports of the news". Most of it comes from the Internet anyway, and anyone can read it at the same time their reporters do.. Newspapers are slowly fading away.. like the 8 track tape machine... slowly fading.. slowly...

@Brian, I'll pass.. as much as I dislike 'answering' the phone for a call, I'd really hate making them, just to be honest. I don't know what purpose those 'recorded', "Let me tell you this or that.. " things do.. A 'one sided' lecture on an idea about this or that.. what are you supposed to do after the call, "Look up the information" to make sure it's correct? How is one to know it's even coming from who it seems to be from? - A Dem sending out a GOP message in a way to annoy people into turning away from the idea?.. I dunno Odd, that anyone would think they are a valid campaign strategy.. Anyway, as for knowing the 'average' American.. I've lived all over America, east coast, west, north and a bit south.. Served with ALL kinds of people.. I'm pretty well, 'in the know' about the 'average' American...

Yes, and NO...

New 'polls' are interesting.

But, an improvement to the current system, especially as it concerns the daily press and the public,

the press and our elected ‘representatives’ should be required to publish, day-by-day, week-by-week, and a month-by-month summary of their various legislative proposals and the actual vote they cast,

either ‘yea’ or ‘nay’, for each proposal.

Every day, of every week, citizens should be able to read in the printed media, on television, and on the elected officials internet site, what legislative proposal they are working on, what legislative proposal with an understandable translation of the legislation, and how they voted,

in the ‘affirmative’ or in the ‘negative’.

By way of accountability, the press, and the legislator’s own web site should publish the this information;

and we as voters with a “PIN” number, should be able to cast a letter grade, A, B, C, F, giving a grade as to our representatives work on our behalf at their respective legislative position.

Just as government, and the people expect accountability of our child’s’ learning progress, and accountability of our schools, and teachers…

We as citizens should demand nothing less than such an ability to grade our legislators on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

Either giving them a pass ‘grade’ or a ‘failing grade’ based on their actions of representation of and for the people who elected them to office.

Therefore, the press should keep the poll for Snyder,

but also add one each for Tom Casperson, Ed McBroom, Debbie Stabenow, Carl Levin and Dan Benishek.

The press and the representatives’ web-site, should be required to list legislation and their vote on each legislative proposal.

At least, minimally, this would give us reason to actual buy the daily press or one of its sister publications?

Too many votes in the negative from a representatives constituency, should signal action for immediate recall and, or impeachment, thus putting into place ‘corrective actions’ long before these minions of business and the rich, are able inflict too much damage before the end of their official elected term.

And,

last but by no means the least,

each of our elected officials should publish a summary of their daily activity including names of people they meet with, the duration of the meeting and the topic of discussion,

all this, on a 24/7 basis.

Too much time you say to accomplish such an undertaking?

Nonsense.
