my daughter was telling me about how a teacher told her last year that asbestos was built in the walls and floors. well i have a concern...i think that the asbestos was released in the air when they took out the upstairs floor in one of the rooms to build the elavator. we send our children to school to be safe but we could actually be hurting them .

  • Posted By: Gandalf: Alex and Eddie Van Halen with Mark Stone used the name Mammoth in 1972. Dont know any more about Stone but they met Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth soon afterward. I remember seeing them sometime in the mid 70's when it seemed there were 2 or 3 concerts locally each week. My first concert was in about 70 or 71 at Memorial Field house. Who sang "Inna Godda Da Vida" baby? I know, I was there!

  • Posted By: Jeannie: I suppose if disappearing glaciers and melting Arctic ice caps and warming oceans don't prove that global warming/climate change exists, then nothing will. Maybe I should forget everything I've learned from scientists and just listen to the scientists that oil companies have bought off - yeah, those guys are the only truth tellers. hahahaha. The most understated quote of the century is "ignorance is bliss."
  • Posted By: Keith: Hey Saturday Night Live, what's your posting name? Good post, I heard that skit it was hilarious. Hey Roane Co., relax buddy. What's your favorite 80s hair band? Ratt? The Crue? Poison? Hey Gandalf, heres one for you. What was the "working name" of Van Halen, before they were named Van Halen? Did anybody see the new Rasmussen poll on "health care?" 56% opposed, 38% in favor. Wow. Democrats are responding to the clear demand of the American people to reform the HC system. LOL. More like committing political suicide. You know folks, whether its $50 in a back alley or $300 million in a back room, prostitution us bad. Did you hear what it took to bribe LA Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu into voting for Obamacare? Well, at least we know where the "stimulus" funds are going! No jobs are anywhere in sight, but that sure makes for a nice slush fund, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Health Care? We are forced to pay for abortions, if you don't sign up you are jailed; USA, Democrat-style.
  • Posted By: Bluebird: While I don't approve of the method the info was obtained, I have been so excited that the lies to push global warming are being exposed. How sad it makes me that it is difficult to find this very important story. In contrast I see most news stations reporting even more scary reports to hurry and push the controlling Copenhagen deal through before it becomes impossible to claim our earth is warming due to our actions. I would hope the people of the world demand unaltered proof of this warming before allowing such an event to happen or the Cap and Trade tax to pass. But no, we are still being deceived. Has everyone sold their soul to that old deceiver-Satan in order to get where they are on the ladder of success? Is truth so hard to come by that we willingly present ourselves for sacrifice, giving up the last remains of our freedom? I never thought I would ever see this day. Shame on all who push this deceit on your faithful people!!!!Does no one care we are being ruined due to a lie?

  • Posted By: Adam: Travis Whitten should be Kennedy winner this year, although I would consider the best QB in the state Colby Treadway. Look at the numbers it's plain and simple. Voter's take out the politics and the names I mentioned can not be overlooked.
