Gawain 0 #2 December 17, 2006 I have to agree. That's a wicked cop-out. Besides, I know they really don't mean it...they say, "You!" but I know they aren't talking to me.... So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Either: (1) They considered everybody in the country and can't find a suitable candidate. (2) This is the fruition of all the PC and political crap. "It makes other kids feel bad when one is chosen valedictorian. I think they are all winners." The political backlash from actually choosing anyone has made them too fearful of decision-making. Either case worries me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
