My day in court
Thu, 03/31/2011 - 02:00 — adminWent to traffic court in Irvington, NJ to resolve a simple traffic ticket (misunderstanding) and witnessed the absolute worst environment. Contemplated taking my young children with me so they could see how the court system works. Good thing I didn't! Everyone from the judge to the police officer who "greeted" me at the entrance was an embarrassment. When I left the court house, I had been demeaned by the judge and bailiff, threatened with contempt of court, learned some new expletives and had a contact high from some of the best weed I've smelled in a long time.

President Barack Obama has always valued the importance of education. He understands that it is the key to success in improving the lives of Americans today as well as in keeping the United States competitive in the world tomorrow. That was the message that the President delivered when he addressed students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA, on September 8, 2009.
Hope. Hope drives us to make a better life.

We have failed. We have failed our communities. We have failed as citizens. We have failed our children.
