FEATURE OF THE WEEK  Arisha Karren had just received her CPR certification a week earlier. A soft-spoken teen with a life-long interest in the medical profession, completing this training as part of her high school's health occupations class was simply a logical step to enter this field... |

I don't consider the elections a total win.
All school district haters
I look forward to seeing you all at school board meetings. Honestly though, I bet I will never see you there. You like to whine and complain on here so you can hide behind your computer.

Rally to Restore Sanity was awesome. All these teabaggers are just fear mongering puppets of the Koch brothers agenda, which is to obtain all the wealth in this country, they will realize that when we are all working in sweat shops for minimum wage.
Gee OpinionMissy, do us all a favor and be the first to go, Hasta La Vista Negativity!!
Ms. Smith/yoB:
At some point in time, and it will happen, these taxing districts in Mountain Home will tax many right out of the area. Why live in MH if you can pay near the same taxes in another area, be closer to jobs, entertainment, etc.? I look forward to the day when you yourself contribute to all of this support. Then you will know/understand how hard it is to keep up with all of this expense. So wallow in what you think of as a win. Karma can be a...well you know.
Enjoy your day Ms. Smith. Always an experience.
Ms. Lauric,
Did you hear about the rally to restore sanity? It was back in 2010. Just curious what you think about it?
Idahogeek,
You can laugh at what ever you want. That is one of the best things about the USA. Everyone can have their own option even if they don't agree with each other.
Laugh it up as you find it funny, I happen to find it sad.
Trouble2011 I'll be the first in line to laugh at you when they don't in November, not that I'm not laughing at you right now :)
Well it looks like the SD pulled off another one and got the sheeple to believe their lies. The 2 year temp levy is now another 2 year temp levy.
Guess what will happen to this levy in another 2 years...
Yes they SD will parade the children out as pawns again telling everyone that if you don't vote for renewal you are against the children. After all their mantra is "it's for the children".
No it is about greed and power the more they get the more power they have. If the SD didn't have a history of lies and secrets then maybe they wouldn't have to resort to using children as pawns.
The SD turning down an offer for an "independant audit" paid for by a concerned residents. Makes someone wonder what they are hiding?
Well I can't wait until they ask for another levy or bond, I'm guessing by November they will want more.
Tax-Spend-Tax-Spend-Tax-Spend...wish I could run my household this way. Instead of going out and continuing to ask for hand-outs, we do without, or save or purchase a cheaper brand (including my bourbon). But oh no, not the MHSD, they simply ask for more and then the good sheeple go right on and give it to them. Well I guess I'd better get back to work so I can pay for my portion of this $5.4M bill I just got stuck with.
This really isn't a "defense" of Opinion Missy but take it as a defense for all BB commentators.
For all those that have negative views of OpinionMissy--let's take this into consideration--she's involved in her community. Whether her opinion or yours is the right one for the community or not is protected under the 1st Amendment. So give her credit for being involved even if you don't like her opinion. How many MHomies follow the establishment like sheep to the slaughter and never once think for themselves. I appreciate a person who takes the time to search out a truth even if their conclusion/solution may be wrong. And I appreciate that she isn't shoving it down everyones throat as a good liberal would(not saying she is liberal). She comes onto the BB and tells "her opinion". Yes, There's a bit of name calling back and forth but I appreciate it more when it comes from an informed citizen than a sheeple. You may agree with her or not but if you do disagree you better be well informed with your opinion because you can bet she will be with her answer.
This is what makes the BB interesting to read!
By the way, for all MH educated--please explain to me why we have a TRIG/Pre-Calc teacher that hasn't a clue as how to teach either subject and has to look to his students for help with the problem and answer and yet he is allowed to stay on and teach by the mere fact of his last name? Pretty sad when the students turn to each other for help to learn the subject! This is just one instance of the education problems flooding this school! I've had my children come home more times than I care to count telling me they watched a movie (not related to the subject matter) in classes or that the teacher just didn't teach and let them chat amongst themselves. My oldest came home the other day and said that Phonics should be taught all the way to 12th grade here in MH due to the fact that Seniors are reading out loud in class and cannot pronounce the simplest of words or can barely read at a thought rate higher than a 2nd grader. MH should budget cut back to the basics of education (reading, writing and arithmetic) and then rebuild from there! Everyone wants to say we need to take care of our children--it won't do any good that "Johnny" can throw a ball if he can't even read or write.
Also Opionionmissy, there are 2 kinds of research, qualitative and quantitative. Your qualitative researching skills are very sub par, no real correlation between fact and opinion. Quantitatively you had no real data to correlate with your hypothesis. You should really study researching before claiming that research is a major part of your life.
