CDR: Will it never end ...

I went down to vote today, and noticed some signs for a state-wide school bond issue ($3.1 BILLION) (NC). The slogan was what caught my eye: "Do it for the children" and, "It will not raise your taxes". I didn't know whether to laugh, or cry. -p "Those who would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - Benjamin Franklin, 1759
