RETURN OF THE ICE AGE

Oct. 4/2003

.... and its not giving any mercy.

Everything seems to be freezing cold, the air, authorites, cafeteria food, and the water (what a great way of encouraging hygiene after the SARS outbreak) As students in the school, we find ourselves taking notes with our hands in our sleeves, asking for washroom breaks to go under the somewhat steaming blow dryer, and shivering in our coats. The only ones that can relate to our daily freezing pain and suffering are homeless people on a cruel winter, at least they have the opportunity to go wander inside the heated banks. After another frostbite I begin to wonder why. The short answer is that there is money to be made and money to be saved. You know... I agree its really pricy to bring a public school building under standard human conditions, its our tax dollars at risk here right? The government is assumed to know better, you know the same group of people known as PC that spend money on themselves and advertising and god only knows what else.

Hey Earnie Eves... you want to pinch more pennies? Why don't you turn our schools into a meat wholesaler? Our jumbo freezer (school) is the ideal place to perserve meat. Just stuff the students in other crowded schools (as originally planned). It doesn't matter what happens to the students, they don't vote. The governments responce to a few school issues is very frightning. Simple repairs, books, desks? Out of the question! Cleanliness? HAHAHA, hey that reminds me, isn't this time to fire another janitor? How about heat? Haven't we finished erasing that definition from our school dictionaries? The principal can be very understanding. You know, he just passed the rule that you can't wear hats. According to health experts your head constitutes to 80% of body heat. Well, we can still wear our coats right? oh wait, our clever principal passed another rule prohibiting coats worn in school.
