He got the calls of his constituents who send their children to White Station, Snowden, or another optional school and realized he couldn't outright support such a drastic cut in funding as Morrison proposed.

I believe that people will always lash out their thoughts and contradict someone before they get a fulld undertstanding of their way of thinking and approach on certain situations. I have learned that through my English course this past spring semester.<BR/><BR/>In other words, I'm not on anyone's side. I'm just a college student looking outside the window viewing the mix culture of Memphis.<BR/><BR/>At some point, we all should come together and solve issues that we have they are surfacing from the muddy Mississippi River and filter those out and make the water cleaner. I believe the only way this can be done is to come up with methods and some type of compromises that will prevent anything from happening.Kelvin Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14387828915820347760noreply@blogger.com
