A Lot of People and Not a Lot of Money to Go Around With!

 I'd feel as my Public Service Announcement for Disability Law is there are a Lot, and I mean a Lot of People and Not a Lot of Money to Go Around With! That causes a lot of problems, especially when in my Own Experiences that are not pleasant.

I would feel a lot of the root of the Problems in General would be having to Grandfather Education as Something Else besides Education. In reality, it should be Get Better or Get the Boot.

I do not think the Community is Comfortable taking the risk of having Outlaws on the Outside. With nothing to offer, it spills over into Tragedy, and that gets a Whole Lot Worse than just Property Values.

Granted, everyday people are strained to their limits and I would also hate Economic Shares would wind up in the Wrong Hands. That would be a Common Tween Era Year Complaint that seems to allegedly come of age in the Worst Way Now.

That would be going akin to having a Weapon or Technology in the Wrong Hands, which is Bad News and Bad Luck. Speaking of both, getting away with Limited Work for Unlimited Money is just as filthy.

I would root for 25 Sitcom Episodes a Season as an Equalizer (The Original) and an Anchor. There'd be too many Equal Simon and Simon's and we are Wound Up Beyond Belief.

Eastern Iowa's Colleges are in Severe Nick Caracci Denial!

 I sense beyond the GDP Shares that became Ill-Begotten, Eastern Iowa's Colleges and Universities are in Severe Nick Caracci Denial. Certain Women would hiss and swear up and down until the Cows came home, but, this has just as Devasting Damage to the GDP.

No one would want to learn at home. It's already bad enough we'd take Illinois's Kids off the Bus here in the Middle of the Map, but, we have enough problems curtailing our Own Jackets.

How some of these Schools deal with their Nick Caracci Problem is say Don't Come Back. That is disheartening and disturbing on so many levels. Alumni would be anxious to give money if the Truth Came Out, which it will, and it is never good.

I would split my Franzia in the Process of why are we not looking at GDP and or Character. I feel that Drinking Contests would have grown into the Public Arena, and worse yet, our Leaders have No Plans for Maternity Leaves in their Family, as Functional Families have someone in Order.

I would be anxious to give my Hard Earned Money if I heard rumbles of Sick Nicks trying to Integrate into the Culture. They would not do well in the Economy and Kids that treat College like a Permanent Summer Vacation are not built to last.

WARNING: We are Risking Never Seeing 87 on NHL Ice!

 I am not mad as much as the Red, White and Blue winning Olympic Gold as much as losing Sidney Crosby to where he will not be on NHL Ice. I feel, like it or not, Sidney Crosby is the NHL's Breadwinner, and it hurts everything when he is not playing.

You'd have Kids, and Some Adults now, base their Career and Lives on 87 and I feel that as a Hockey Man, I do not see the Right Neighborhoods be Lit Up like Goal Lamps. 

The problem Gary Bettman has is this could be Permanent and Disruptive in so many different ways. I would like to see Atlanta rededicate their Winter Olympic Commitment big time instead of just leveraging an Install.

My answer to Mr. Bettman would be having an Independent Pro-Rel League to Upset the System Later. I do not believe in the "Because He's Coach" ethos, and I would want to make a Different Drink before they took that away from me.

Not Responsible For Other People's Education!

 FAIR WARNING: The New Pac 12's Future will be Short, but not too Sweet! I feel that as a Fan, what gets me Ginned Up is having to be Responsible for Other People's Education like "Who's Child is This"?

I would think very much that Creighton, Missouri State and Wichita State should tie their Wagons to the Original Name Kiel Center instead of Other Places. And, it doesn't help that Tangents would win the day.

I doubt anything good would have came with USC and UCLA coming to the Flyover States when more often than not, they'd be National Brands being no further than Mountain Time.

And, Sacramento State would have saved themselves and Texas State the Trouble had they been Focused on the Other Papers. I would have rooted for Gonzaga to Return to College Football before North Dakota State would have Aggie Coded their Territory Mindless.

Where Oh Where is that Mighty Cherry Tree?

 On this George Washington's Birthday, where oh where is that Mighty Cherry Tree? I would find it would be more fun to have Integrity and not just not so Sweet Emotions. 

I feel as a Man, namely a Disabled Gentleman, taking without asking and leaving with nothing is not a sign of Integrity.

I would rather be Outside like Mr. Cowboy instead of Inside like a Slob. If Body, or the Lack of It, is a Sign of No Integrity, that leads to different problems.

I feel I would want to be different and not just be edgy or inappropriate. There'd be too many things that would make me and others mad, and that is never good.
