Like in the days of Faustus we are selling our heritage and that of our children by the continuous debit spending that drives values of saving accounts and property down.  There are codes and statutes that prohibit the spending beyond the monies called budgeted. We continually, local, state federally to awaken the world as they gather together by demand the G7 to G20 now be represented by 20 nations as protection against the warnings of writers predicting the ending of another empire.  In all elections before the vote is cast one should consider available money and not base the vote on greed of producing jobs with phony money who’s total value is based on the price of recycle paper.

We should have the money in hand before voting yes on the question. The frost has already hit our money tree and the money flutters in the winds of the North.

No but I have often wondered what happened to the industry who build the blinders for the horse halter industry that gave the horse tunnel vision.  It changed to where it limited voters to tunnel vision now.

What? The days of Faustus?

The story has nothing to do with selling our heritage and our children and debt. Faust made a deal with the devil for power. There was no money transferred. Why would you use this obscure reference for a lecture on budgets?

Phony money, jobs and the price of recycled paper? You seem more confused than usual. Get some new meds...

Michael;

The "uphill battle" you are engaged in is the result of the always occurring money grab by the state legislators.  Remember the promise of the lottery for education?  And State Question 1070 for education?

They were lies and this is a lie.  It is just another door for corruption, graft, and political patronage in this state. 

If you want a change, then it will have to come about by not voting in the clowns that are there today.  Yeah, right...see if that happens.

In the meantime, keep in mind that this is the state that continues to elect Jim Inhofe, Randy Brogdon, and for decades before senility and some years after - Gene Stipe.  And Mary Fallin.

You are right. The best way to change the legislature is to vote out legislators.

But I only get to vote for one. I can't decide the other races. I did give a few dollars to some other candidates for state house with that in mind as well.

I am sad to agree that the best strategy is to throw them all out. I voted for the bill to limit terms today. Out of three pages of decisions, it is probably the only question or candidate on today's ballot that my vote mirrors the majority.

soul   

soul [sōl]
(plural souls)
n
1.  nonphysical aspect of person: the complex of human attributes that manifests as consciousness, thought, feeling, and will, regarded as distinct from the physical body 
2.  feelings: a person's emotional and moral nature, where the most private thoughts and feelings are hidden
Her soul was in turmoil.
 
3.  spirit surviving death: in some systems of religious belief, the spiritual part of a human being that is believed to continue to exist after the body dies.
The soul is sometimes regarded as subject to future reward and punishment, and sometimes as able to take a form that allows it to remain on or return to earth.
4.  spiritual depth: evidence of spiritual or emotional depth and sensitivity, either in a person or in something created by a person
Though technically perfect, the drawing lacked soul.
 
5.  essence: the deepest and truest nature of people or a nation, or what gives somebody or something a distinctive character
In my travels I hoped to discover the soul of the Russian people.
 
6.  type of person: somebody of a particular type, especially one regarded sympathetically or with familiarity
Poor soul! What will he do now?
 
7.  anyone: anyone at all (used in negative statements)
You have to promise not to tell a soul.
 
8.  individual person: an individual person, especially when thought of as making up the number of a group (usually used in the plural)
a country of some 10 million souls
 
9.  perfect example: a good example, or personification, of a positive quality
The hotel manager was the soul of discretion.
 
10.  somebody essential to something: the leader of or the most influential person in a group or movement 
11.  African American spirit: a quality regarded as characterizing African American culture, especially as manifested in understanding and in social customs, speech, and music 
12.  music Same as soul music

Gee! I cannot understand why the total votes cast seems less than the total employees and associates paid out of the education funding

Course it is “don’t tax me but tax that fellow behind the tree.”.  There is a possibility that some posters will cry themselves to sleep tonight with visions of those promise dollars floating in the air;.  Angry Angry Angry.
