When I was a child, there was in the news

A story about a little girl whose father
doused their camper with gasoline
and then burned her alive.

And now we have;
a bunch of Albuquerque Public Schools Senior Administrators
sitting around a table and deciding;

• To save some money by preventing fire inspections.

• Then to take the money that they "saved", and spend it on renovating the Uptown Administrative Complex;
  including the indefensible and completely unjustifiable
  construction of a million dollar board room.

The father was insane.

The leadership of the APS is not.
They simply crave power and the accouterments of power.


It cannot be explained; except that the public interest
is being betrayed by the very people whose job it is,
to protect the public interest, and
to protect 90,000 of our sons and daughters
from being burned alive at school one day.

Damn Thomas J Lang, Kent Walz, and the Journal, and
Michelle Donaldson, and Rhonda Aubrey, and
Mary Lynn Roper;

for refusing to investigate and report upon ethics
and accountability in the leadership of the APS.


And,
I am compelled to say,
damn everyone who does not now pick a side.

If ever, there were a time for people to walk their talk,
that time is now.

Sacrifice is the currency of commitment.
