    The Earth is amply covered with seas and oceans. The problem is dwindling fresh water supply. Desalinization plants need to be built and maintained near places where the fresh water needs are greatest.

    My son is a teacher. He once had a student who did poorly in his class (and other classes in general).

    But this student regularly sought help with my son and others to get passing grades. My son told me that that student made him most proud.

    After graduation, that student, of course, did not go to college.

    Instead, he and a friend started a yard maintenance business. They began with one pick up truck and two lawn mowers, and weed whackers etc, and went door to door.

    After a couple of years, they hired a couple of people to help, and bought more equipment.

    Then, while doing a lawn, the home owner said that they did very good work, so he asked them if they knew anyone who repaved driveways.

    Well, the former student did know a guy who had started out like he and his friend, and did repave driveways.

    So, they talked to him and they all agreed to form a new business that did lawn maintenance and repaved driveways and did walkways, stone work, etc. They also discussed having a general construction business.

    By this time, due to bank loans, they owed local banks over $100,000.00.

    Now, if a kid went to college, and ended up with over $100,000.00 in loans, and then gets the loan forgiven, then what about these three men who didn’t go to college and who owe banks over a $100,000.00. Are they going to get their loan forgiven too?

    I “like” Tiny’s fear of being carried off by ants, but STARFISH PEOPLE… that is just too scary for words!

    I don’t understand RED O SCHOOL (over my head; feeling kinda dumb.)
