SUMMER PEOPLE???

MAINE

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days. Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him resting on the seventh day. He inquires of God, Where have you been?

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downward through the clouds. "Look, Michael, look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet",replied God, "and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance

"Balance? "inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of the Earth, "For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. The Middle East over there will be hot spot", God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold and covered with ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to an area with mountains, lakes and forests, "What's that one?"
"Ah", said God, "that's Maine, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, lakes, and mountains. The people from Maine are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, and high-achieving people, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then exclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance! Everyone and everything seems so totally perfect in this place you call Maine.

"
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see all the idiots I'm sending them every summer.........."

A GOOD IDEA?

A Reader Writes...

Here's a suggestion for those wondering how to finance the needs of the school.

How about if the parents of the children who actually use the school fork over the money to make any needed changes to the school.

This way the parents can get the upgrades they feel are necessary and they won't need to resort to forcing the rest of us to pay for their children's education.

Many of us here have chosen not to have children. Yet there are those who do have kids who fully expect all of us to help raise their kids. You wanted the kids...you pay to educate them.
