The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has ordered the National Education Association and its state affiliates to stop violating the religious rights of members who disagree with the union's political causes.

In a ruling made public yesterday, the federal agency said it would sue the nation's largest teachers union if it did not stop forcing teachers who categorized themselves as "religious objectors" to undergo annual written procedures so their dues would not fund the union's political agenda.

"I have such a deep and abiding hatred of the public school system, I can barely speak rationally on the subject."

Well, the people who run the system are not nice people.

"I seek a slow death for this bunch; &, for my tastes? The slower, the better. "

The problem with this approach is the damage they can do while they are dying your slow death.

"I would be all-for detoothing 'em."

They still have gums.

"They still have gums."

HA!!
Yea...
I suppose they will, at that.

But Don?
The *Good News* is that we have the teeth now, eh?
I mean: did'cha ever think we'd grow us a set?

We really oughta take a lesson from our reptilian *friend*, the Boa Constrictor?
Learn to constrict with every exhale our enemies make.
Until finally one day?
Our enemies are no longer able to breath a'tall.

...then, the NEA et al will be dead, dead, dead; forevermore.
