http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas-Nebraska_Act\n\nIt was a compromise between free state and slave state supporters that left the decicison of slavery up to each of the two new territories.\n\nIn Kansas it would probably be considered "unfair" (which is a very subjective word) because during the initial election for a slave/free state constitution many, many men from Missouri (slave state) came over into Kansas and voted for the slave state constitution.

I need not mention the Hill's most recent example of peccary positioning: I'm still steamed about Congresswoman Harman.\n\nYour suggestion finds no reticence from me.\n\nI've agreed with you a few times now. Am I becoming a liberal?\n\nKidding. A lottery system, while not without the flaw that chance could decide on ineptitude, is much preferable to seeing committees chaired by virtue of seniority.\n\n Also,the issue of legislation not even finding debate because the author is a junior member seems inefficient.\nPotentially beneficial policy is ignored by this practice.\n\nYour idea wouldn't sit well with those careerists that fancy themselves America's Nobility.\n\n\nHours later:\nI do realize Jane was the senior member, however she was/is the most qualified.

I don't know if you can find this information, but even if you could it wouldn't be helpful.  A national attrition rate is too large of a sample to be useful - State rates and the rates inside individual LEA's are far more important.  In the end, no matter what the Federal government wants to think, education is a state issue and a right granted to the states by the US Constitution.  And the disparity between regions, states and LEA's is WAY too broad to give you any kind of useful answer at the national level.

Wow! I didn't realize how many rude, ignorant, people that were on here at 1 time. I totally agree. There is a surplus of funds in the lottery money. Anyone with 1/2 a brain would know that. And they say the uneducated would be voting! Ignore the stupid comments. Maybe you should contact your state reps & try to get that on the ballot for the next session. It's not bribery it's an incentive to get people to vote. It doesn't mean they would go vote for just anyone, it might get people to get more involved.

its not fair at all..they should be required to learn our language as we would be required to learn theirs.

Because they were all taught in liberal institutions. For those of you who don't believe it is check out the number of liberal reports on the payrolls compared to conservative reports. For that matter check out the number of liberal professors at institutions of higher learning compared to conservative. Its appalling the unfair balance but you can certainly understand it. Those qualified conservatives that could teach are probably making a whole lot more money working in the private sector doing a real job.

It's called the FairTax Bill !!!!

Because most Republican congressman are asking him to NOT try and help them.  They are distancing themselves from his failed policies and irrevocable mistakes.  Bush is so desperate for someone to support in a race that he's coming to freaking nebraska to stump for the Rep. candidate.

If they had passed Jessica's Law in Nebraska, we wouldn't have judges legislating from the bench! The judge's decision was flat out wrong! To show more compassion to the perpetrator than he does for the victim? \n\nAnd by the way, since when does our sentencing need to include reform for the guilty? Was it at some point switched from being a penalty to aid?

a pre civil war act that gave thwe citizens of kansas and nebraska the right to decide whether or not they wanted slavery in their state

The small percentahg of offenders who don't affend again have been spiritually rehabilitated.\n\nanyway, there's a similiar type of law in KS

because any bias would be freedom infringement.\n\nSorry you hate it but it is an old principle that most counties have. Division of church and state.

In almost all states, that probably constitutes good and sufficient service.  But without knowing your state (and whether you're a party to the action) it is impossible to say for sure.\n\nP.S.  The person above me is wrong.

There was nothing "equal" about it.\nSchool segregation was ended by Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, KS\n...

in Omaha there is a movement to seperate the schools back along racial/ethnic lines under the theory that students will learn better amongst people more like them i guess. I dont really think this is a good idea because as history has shown us, seperate but equal really does not hold much water as a idea. It is ulitmately up to you if you feel the segregation is a healthy practice, however the action is very controversial constitutionally because it is in seemingly fairly obvious violation of the brown v board of education of topeka case.

Unfair isn't the right word. They were horrible and a disgrace to officiating everywhere. Anyone who had half a mind would know that.

Unfortunately I don't think so.  Things like that don't often happen to the people who deserve it.\n\nHateful, yes, but I am from Kansas, and I am sick and tired of them.   I used to think that everyone deserves to state their opinion whenever and however they want within legal bounds. \n\nI don't think that anymore and i hate myself for it.
