Sherry's smoking ban went up in smoke, and here we are looking at a budget that gives a $10,000.00 raise to Amil Minora, the solicitor who told the whole city that the smoking ban was legal and it turned out to be dead illegal.Minora is such a crony it hurts.Solicitor my ass. I heard that Sherry now gets text messages on her cell during council meetings that tell her what to say. Keep those posts coming wildsbeast, they're beautiful to review how stupid Ms. GED really is.

Les all I can say is ... how very rude and ignorant of you ... There are many people who have dropped out of school (not that I believe this is something anyone should do as I do whole heartedly believe in the value of an education)... that are highly intelligent and successful ... you however were not one of them were you ... here are just a few examples:

H.G. Wells.......best-selling British author (dropped out to help family earn income; later returned and went on to college)

Jim Clark........self-made billionaire American businessman; founder of "Netscape"; first Internet billionaire (17, U.S. Navy)

Jimmy Dean..........singer-songwriter-actor; self-made multimillionaire American businessman; founder of the "Jimmy Dean Foods" brand sausage business (16, U.S. Merchant Marines; 18, U.S. Air Force)

Andrew Jackson......7th U.S. President; face is pictured on the U.S. twenty dollar bill (13, U.S. Continental Army; orphaned at 14; little formal education; home schooling/life experience; studied law in his late teens and became a lawyer)

Leon Uris..........best-selling American author (Exodus, etc.) (17, U.S. Marines)

Walter L. Smith.....former president of Florida A&M University (equivalency diploma, at age 23)

W. Clement Stone....self-made multimillionaire (some sources indicate billionaire) American businessman-author; founder of "Success" magazine (elementary school dropout; later attended high-school night courses and then some college. High school night courses will earn the individual a GED!)

Jack London.......best-selling American author (dropped out at 14 to work; later gained admission to the University of California; left after one semester)

Arthur Ernest Morgan....American flood-control engineer; college president-author; appointed by President Roosevelt to be director of the Tennessee Valley Authority public works project (left high school after three years; later attended the University of Colorado for six weeks)

Now Les I'm guessing that you took that education all the way ... and what is it you are known for ... posting on a website and speaking at Council in a voice that is about as engaging as the voice of your Queen Janet ... how about finding something real to criticize ... stop with the fat jokes ... and the dropout jokes as many people have dropped out for many different reasons ... it's not about not being smart enough to make it all the way ... sometimes there are circumstances beyond ones control that necessitate them to drop out ... some are bored and not challenged ... many reasons ... I'm sure that you wouldn't understand the latter.
