thanks for your concern...he has been through worse, judging from other damage to his lower shell...before we got him...Hugs, Dutch
I think they cut education, mental health and health first because they are most vulnerable, often can't fight back, powerless and also do not generate income...
but in NY we fought back, 40,000 teachers went to Albany and the legislature vetoed the governors cuts...

when you get right down to it..public education...education for all..is very idealistic....as a business it does not show a profit...but if it is NOT funded by public monies, the alternatives are even MORE expensive...uneducated masses, loose on society!!..and they think its bad now??!!
I heard about the schools in Oregon...what a shame...I hope things improve..
