Mad as hell
A group of citizens across the nation is currently "mad as hell," and is "not going to take it anymore." In response to the lengthy impeachment proceedings against President Clinton, the National Mad as Hell Campaign has been formed for four main reasons: to stop the impeachment effort, to stop Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation, to stop wasting federal money on the impeachment proceedings, and to move on to what the Mad as Hell Campaign calls the "more important business of the country.
Jailhouse crock
State governments across the nation have been sending a clear message to their citizens recently: They would rather see them in jail than in school. As part of a national trend, New York Gov. George Pataki vetoed a bill last April that would have given $600 million to public schools. Since 1988, the state has increased funding for the Department of Correctional Services by $761 million. While politicians nationwide laud their own success at curtailing crime, public education seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
