You are a prime example of life being very difficult, but you took a negative situation and turned it into a positive one. Instead of blaming the laws that govern this nation for your hard luck, you chose the path of rising about that and becoming a productive member of society. You would make a good motivational speaker for any high school. Kudos to you!!

Now I am not college educated but I can figure out that we must stop bringing in more people / more students and we must make the schools safe again, BUT - BUT - BUT, all those college educated ones like Hoyer and McKay and Bohanan and more are still bringing in more big business and more people and expanding the Base and yet their college degrees do not tell them that one school house has already burned and we got lucky so stop bringing in more of the problem.

Two trailers burned. That is far different than "one of our school houses has already caught fire and burned down." I'm not an educated man (well, actually I am) but I do believe there is a difference.

How do you propose to stop accidental fires if you are elected? "As your delegate, I promise to make it illegal for wires to short out."


The trailers were being used due to construction, not because of overcrowding. If you are elected, will you stop all school renovation? The school you dropped out of was good enough, why do these kids deserve better?

I think I am far better of a representatives of the traditional values of the Democratic Party then all the Democrats in St. Mary's County that give support to the big business that is taking over our hometown.

It has been traditional for the Republican Party to represent big business while the Democratic Party stood up for the working classes and for the poor. So compared to the sell-out-to-big-business Democrats of St. Mary's County then I think I am a superior representative compared to them.

So in fact the answer to your question is that I think I do better represent the Party as a whole but deffinately do not better represent the Democrats here that have sold out to big business.

Because your questions were childish and meaningless.

I figured you could have figured that much out for yourself.

Your thoughts are way too general. How do you plan to stop big business in the county? Give examples of how the Dems have sold out to big business? You talk of needing better schools, how do you intend to do this? What is your main concern with the economic growth of our county?

Insult the voters!
Good way to win!

I'm curious about your child support proposals. Since child support is based on income, why do you think people are going to jail for not paying and why do you think it's only "poor" people that don't pay?

Just for the record, he does not represent my Decomratic party. Oh, BTW, if he were self-educated, wouldn't he have taught himself the first time that defacing public property is illegal and can result in being sent to jail. Maybe he is a slow learner.

Since you are gifted enough to recognize MEANINGLESS I suppose that you have an idea how your candidacy is viewed.

The two trailers that burned are the same kind that are still in use and students go to classes still in the fire boxes - if you do not want to call class rooms school houses then how about calling them fire boxes?

No, I propose to have students go to classes inside the schools where there are brick / block walls that do not burn and there are sprinkler systems and fire alarms. Not in "relocatables" that now have a proven history of fire.

Do not kid the people here. The trailers are for overcrowding. Look at the "relocatables" at Great Mills High school and elsewhere. They are for the overcrowding. Even the construction and the renovations are based on the overcrowding. And more people with kids / students are coming fast as the greedy powers can move them in. When the next fire happens then are you going to say that too was an ancident or are we going to do some thing about the problem?? I am - I am going to put a stop to it.

These kids now really do deserve better and I will make certain of it.
