Agreed. The Hoosier Heartland Conference is the natural fit for the Hot Dogs.

To Increase 'Equity,' This California High School Is Eliminating Honors Courses: https://reason.com/2023/02/21/to-increase-equity-this-california-high-school-is-eliminating-honors-courses/?itm_source=parsely-api That is our government education system everybody. I giant race to equity, errr mediocrity.

Never fails.

That would leave just Frankfort, Crawfordsville, North Montgomery, South Montgomery, and Western Boone in the Sagamore. I thought the move was towards larger conferences, not smaller ones? Not sure a 5-school conference in this part of the state is viable anymore. If Tri-West, Lebanon, and Danville leave or are kicked out of the Sagamore look for the entire conference to dissolve shortly after.

School reverses urinal ban after bathroom access debate: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/school-reverses-urinal-ban-after-bathroom-access-debate-97257376 I've been considering having a urinal installed in my home bathroom. Sounds like with the next decade urinals will be removed from most public restrooms because they "offend" the transgenders.

Yes, I do. No, I don't. Yes, I do. I would say the same of you, but it's clear you choose to live in a de-facto echo chamber, so such feedback would only serve to reinforce your sense of moral superiority. I have never espoused such an idea here on the GID. The is a place for government in our society, but it should be minimized as much as possible. And our current government is not minimal in size, scope, and power.

Isn't animal fighting, like cock fighting or dog fighting, illegal in Indiana?

Social Media Making Kids Depressed? Send Them Outside To Play: https://reason.com/2023/02/24/kids-social-media-depression-outdoor-play/ In a few months I plan on taking about a week long backpacking trip, in an area with little to no cellphone service. I can't wait.

Grow up. Sorry that you obviously have no family or friends. Or least none that will listen to you. Echo chamber and navel gazing to the max. Good luck.

My tax dollars? It probably won't effect them. But it will possibly effect the tax dollars of friends and family living in or around Indianapolis. And they need to be educated on the long term consequences of such government largesse. That they, their children, and their grandchildren will be paying for it for the rest of their lives. Heck, it was previously stated that taxpayers are still paying for the Hoosier Dome. Doesn't that raise warning bells for anyone?

Sure, that investment is great. If it is private investment

And you probably weren't raised in a household where between around 1977-1984 my father would go to work every day not knowing whether or not himself and others would be laid off and out of job by the end of the day, primarily due to company mismanagement. Or forced by that same union to take a pay cut during those lean years in order to help keep the plant open. And your obvious sour grapes concerning "Cadillac" insurance plans and pensions is duly noted. If you want a real "Cadillac" insurance and pension plan you need to look at what retirees from the Teamsters get. No, the UAW has been gutting it's members pension and insurance plans for decades. They are not what they used to be.

Yes, I believe I should have a say in how my tax dollars are spent. Unlike you I don't blindly trust the government.

https://mises.org/wire/power-woke-how-leftist-ideology-undermining-our-society-and-economy I choose freedom, not tyranny. Which is what the left agenda will ultimately lead to.

I am one of the millions of people. I donate my time, talent, and treasure on at least a weekly basis to a small number of community organizations, and have for over 25 years. What about you?

I don't see a taxpayer funded soccer stadium "making a difference in the community". And study after study after study has proven that. Thornton? Never heard of it. I go to Crawfordsville at least once a month, Brother's Pizza Company is a good place to eat. I don't recall telling you to "step back in line" whatever the heck that means in the context of your statement. No, I am not trying to shame you for "facing your hardships". Just your "more government is the answer to practically everything" ideology. It is the wrong path IMHO. So money provided by taxation has to be the mechanism for providing these opportunities? Why? Are you saying the free market and private sector does not provide opportunities for people? If it always government providing those opportunities, absolutely. I'm sorry that you can't see the difference, and the price your future children and grandchildren are going to pay for such a socialist agenda. “No action can be virtuous unless it is freely chosen.” ― Murray N. Rothbard Are FICA taxes freely chosen? The last time I checked, no.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/generative-ai-is-coming-for-the-lawyers/?comments=1&comments-page=1 So how much will law firms billable hours actually be reduced by AI? Something is tell me "not much". Either that or they will just raise their hourly billable rate to compensate. So an easier job for the lawyers, no real monetary benefit for the clients.

Yeah, I guess those things never happen in Wisconsin, especially the utopia of Green Bay. Hmm, you openly criticize me, making an unsubstantiated claim about my income and tax burden ("you probably don’t make more than 200k and you probably don’t pay Jack crap for taxes") and then you say accuse me of "flaunting my money around". Hypocrite much, Dumfries? As for calling you "Trailer trash" I have never said anything of sort. Truth be told such a description of yourself came from you, not I. If you care so much about your poor and downtrodden friends/family still stuck in the hellhole called Gibson county, Indiana what are you personally doing to help them? Other than advocating for the forcing of taxpayers to pay for a fancy new soccer stadium boondoggle?

1. Who exactly who that be? Please name them. 2. And what does the tragedy at Sandy Hook have to do with the government (aka taxpayer) spending on yet another stadium boondoggle?

Wow, somebody is angry. I guess Indiana is the only state, and Gibson the only county, with such sad tales. Green Bay must be a true utopia on earth, even though it looked pretty much like any other dirty midwestern town when I drove through it on my way to the Michigan U.P. a few months ago. And I pay more in state and federal taxes than you probably ever will, sonny. You see I earned my college degree at an Indiana university, left the state for almost eight years, then freely chose to move back. Have been gainfully employed in a highly technical field ever since. As for "entitled brats', yes, those of you who insist that the only way to visit a "nice" football or soccer arena is to have the taxpayers foot the bill are the ones with the entitlement mentality, not I. Like most socialists you have no problem forcing everyone to pay for something that will only every be enjoyed by the few. Government has been picking the winners and losers this way for decades, and it needs to stop. You however, flee the state your grew up in and then have the unmitigated gall to moan and complain about how crappy Indiana is. You, young sir, are part of the problem. And frankly you have zero business posting on this message board. Why don't you actually move back to your "beloved" Gibson county (funny how you use the word "beloved" to describe the H.S. but seem to despise most everybody there) and be part of the solution, sharing your supposed $200,000+ wealth and experience with the poor and downtrodden there?

A very good site for the review of the breaded tenderloin sandwich: https://breadedtenderloin.wordpress.com/

Hmm, you failed to address the debt issue. I'm sure that was intentional. As for factory work, my father worked at the Kokomo Chrysler transmission plant for 34 years, and was damn proud of it. It allowed him to provide a good standard of living for his family, and help put multiple children through college. Did it carry health risks? Sure it did. But all those non-factory, "white collar" careers out there where you usually sit in a sedentary position for 8-12 hours a day carry there own different sort of health risks, do they not? And my parents were responsible with their hard earned money, and decided to stay here. Sure, they visited places like Florida and Tennessee but they chose to live in Indiana. Just because you chose to flee the state of Indiana, and be part of the problem and not the solution, doesn't make you a genius.
