And the citizens of Prince George's County are left with one of the second worst educational systems in the nation. Without a standard baseline for educational achievement as a nation, many communities across this nation would revert to substandard education standards in order to balance their budgets. This is a dangerous path one to take in the 21st century. Our children deserve the best chances to survive [...].

By all estimates that roughly 7000 nuclear weapons spread throughout the world both friend and foe. You would start a war over one nuclear weapon or is the fear of our government that these governments might use the technology as we have for social purposes and the advancement of their societies

Social Security
