SLAMMING DOORS

Some people in my house are slamming doors like demented teenagers, angry that others believe in rational decision making..

I am SO PLEASED that President Putin and President Obama are attempting to take the most rational path in Syria. It takes a really great man to change course in light of developing events. Only the truly stupid keep to the same path even after the path has been wiped out by a flood.

Here in the US, even the Tea Party states loudly that they believe in education of young people.

There are TWO educational programs that science has proven work. Head Start for the youngest children, and lowering class size. Federal funding for these programs is LESS due to the stubborn Tea Party people. The Tea Party has had about 35 unsuccessful votes on Obamacare, and STILL they want to shut down the federal government AGAIN so that they can be on TV AGAIN.

If we had rational politicians, I would also propose federal funding of alternative schools for those students intent on disrupting everyone else's education. As I can attest, asking politely to, "Please do not slam doors," does not work. Teachers tell me that sometimes disruptive students stand on the tables, and there is no effective way to discipline them.

Obamacare is here to stay. The nation still needs to be run. If a UN plan does not remove Syria's chemical weapons, who is going to secure the chemical weapons?

Can the Tea Party please stop "slamming doors" long enough to let the rest of us get some work done?
