Chris, I guess my point was that we can't all swing around playing like we are helpless infants when we have have a very serious community problem. It just seems to me that people are crying "Help me, I have a problem, somebody, anybody, help me.Give me money and I'll stop crying." I am saying let's find a solution, think it through, present it well, in a manner that the government can simply say "here's a solution - the government backs this plan!" Rather than whining and asking the government to come up with a solution - we the community need to present the solution and then force compliance. Exactly as your group did with the roads. The problem with the school is that a core group that will spear head and lobby correctly has yet to emerge. It will, but its not there yet.
