Attention, LOOK NOW at what's falling on hard times:

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Facing potential bankruptcy, the board that governs the once flush-with-cash Kansas City school district is taking the unusual and contentious step of shuttering almost half its schools.
Administrators say the closures are necessary to keep the district from plowing through what little is left of the $2 billion it received as part of a groundbreaking desegregation case. The Kansas City school board narrowly approved the plan to close 29 out of 61 schools Wednesday night at a meeting packed with angry parents. The schools will close at the end of the school year.
Although other districts nationwide are considering closures as the recession ravages their budgets, Kansas City's plan is striking. In rapidly shrinking Detroit, 29 schools closed before classes began this fall, but that still left the district with 172 schools. Most other districts are closing just one or two schools.

This is so extremely disturbing. The economy is NOT getting better as those out there would have us believe. WE should be concentrating on OUR jobless/poor economy NOW, instead of putting ALL our efforts into a new Health Care system. Don't get me wrong, that is an issue, it's just where we are right NOW with our poor economy is more important. Take for instance the unfortunate situation at OSU the other day, with the guy shooting his boss, another worker then himself. Awful! People are feeling so desperate that they feel no way out, so look what they are turning to. This is NO way to live, for anyone.

Here's a famous saying: "Wake up America!"

Let's fix this and soon...
