8. Ah! So *that* explains why we don't bother to fund "extras" in our schools
(not even textbooks, for the most part :( )

Why bother when we can just enlist the keiki (kids) into a mega-sales force for a notoriously right-wing rag sheet? And think about this: it's bad enough when your kid does it by himself, but consider for a moment a typical, large, "local kine" family gathering where several youthful commission salespeople* are running around showing their displays to all the aunties and tutus (grannies)?!

I wonder if this is the new Repuke administration's way of "saving money" for DOE? The choice of Right-Winger's Digest as the vendor seems a bit suspect...

P.S. Having actually met said kid, briefly, at an anti-war demo, I'm gonna guess he builds up a decent collection of blinking buttons. Dunno 'bout the Playstation, though. :-)
