2 [from the practice of drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting dogs] : something that distracts attention from the real issue
Saying there's "no money for this, but you have money for that" is what I'm calling a red herring. Same as when an officer pulls you over - saying "why are you giving me a ticket? you should be out after the real criminals!" is a red herring argument to having been caught speeding.
However, you are quick to defend both Texans and people from Texasnot really. I'm quick to get upset over statements like Texas - a boil on the asshole of humanity. Doesn't bother me that y'all don't like "the resident" - that's just politics.
As far as funding for schools - I've pointed out in the past [link|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=62915|Post #62915] a major problem with school funding in Texas. If I'm not mistaken, part of what's been put on hold by the AWOL democrats is how to address this problem.
Anyway I'm running late to meet up with the HouStooks(Houston S2000[S2K] group) - we're going to see The Matrix Reloaded tonight.
