Our FOUNDING FATHERS were as cynical as I and some others are of politicians and their intentions. They'd be disgusted by the apathy and ignorance of most of our population. Those with IQs under a hundred can be forgiven. Those who should know better can not be. Politicians are not to be lionized, they are to be closely examined and challenged for their actions or lack thereof. Bobby Harrell and his resistance to full transparency should be setting off alarms for those who are properly cynical rather than blindly trusting. Thankful father: DON’T SWALLOW THE KOOL-AID!

She deserves more classy readers than some who've posted here. It's obvious that she loves encouraging her students to follow current issues. Our state is such a better place because of competent, caring, and committed teachers like her. Thank you, Will, for letting us know about real people like this. Very uplifting!

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. After all of sic(k) willie's blather about Ms. Payne it is pretty clear The Speaker was playing against a "stacked deck."

It was our suggestion (made exclusively on your little porn site) that Ms. Payne show flair and balance by inviting The Speaker. And a big thanks to Ms. Payne! Here's another suggestion. How about invite the Midlands' elected official who sic(k) willie claims has a Strom problem to visit your class? Or, has he already visited? BIN News Editorial Staff Always Making a Difference Get in touch with sic(k) willie for contact information on him.

Whatever your stage in life, there are definite things everyone can do. Our schools should continue to support the study of America’s history and institutions at every level, primary, secondary, and higher educations. People should talk to family, friends, and associates about the important themes related to civic learning. And you should take the time to get involved in your community and VOTE! A special thanks to Bobby Harrell, Mayor Gibbons, Nathan Ballentine, Nikki Haley, and Richard Eckstrom for reaching out to us!

DO NOT LET YOURSELVES BE FOOLED! Politicians are not there for us in most cases and we must forever be on our guard against their corruption. This generation that will be voting soon should, of all voters, be especially cynical of political correctness, doublespeak, undeclared wars, fascist corporate bail-outs, and all the other unconstitutional actions being done to (not for) you by politicians.

Ballentine and Haley taking their time to come visit our class and standing up for an issue that they believed in, and we think Mr. Eckstrom is actually funny (even for an accountant) and can relate well to young people by explaining why our state needs to stick to their budget and not overspend, and the whole "financial on-line transparency" thing makes total sense.... Having Speaker Harrel in yesterday was a BLAST. We respect him for taking the time to talk to us when he isn't even our district Rep. Plus he explained the way he thought our state should improve our system of education in SC. What we would really like is for Mr. Folks to come back and speak to us. He is witty, an awesome writer, and knows all the "In" politicos in our State. He hasn't been able to make it out to our school this year. The Bond Ref. passed...can't he come back now?
