hail thee Nick! but matey, these folks....the protestin' teachers in particular, really do care about the state and its finances. Wisconsin happens to have a really good record in public education, the teachers that that state hath be blessed with are doin' a wonderful job. regardin' the 90K average pay fer teachers, could ye perhaps gimme a link fer that figure? imma little skeptical that yer figures be correct, but would be happy to be proven wrong. also, why so much profanity in yer writings, Mr.Nick? - MeadHallPirate
