GMS Carrer Day 2005

In the most recent semester of LISD schools; I as a very good representation of an activemember in The Colony community government sat in on a lecture in government for Career Day. The youths seemed very non-chalant when the speaker, our beloved mayor began to talk. He discussed his job, how the election works and what he usually does, he also told the kids how he doesn’t get paid for his community position but only reaps the wonderful benefits of servicing your community, something usually done as punishment for an array of small crimes. He went further through the speech until he was finished
presenting graphs and financial data; at the end of his planned lecture he opened the floor to the eighth grade students to ask questions or make statements about their planned future in government. Not taking advantage of the situation to speak face to face with their mayor no youthsraised their hands causing the teacher to ask a question about the up-coming construction on highway 121. The mayor responded with an extremely long explanation of the situation they were facing on making it a toll road and also delved into such topics as the people he met in the process, causing a lot of big names to be dropped; but since he was talking to children the names were dropped on deaf ears. After his very interesting explanation he opened the floor once again to the children, one child asked why the cops were so mean, a view shared by quite a few youths. The mayor responded to a question with another question; which by the way is very rude. The mayor asked “In what way does the police force harass you and your friends?” The boy said that at one time the police tried to illegally search his posse for a marijuana cigarette (often referred to as a joint, j, or spliff) The mayor responded shockingly by caring for his case and saying “ That’s not good if you are in this lecture. If you want to work in government your opponent will dig up dirt on you, and if that situation occurred then it is very bad. If you smoke weed or trip on some nice shrooms try not to get caught because that stuff well catch back up to you and bite you in the ass.” I was highly appalled and stormed from the room after letting out a deep sigh, had I known that the mayor had such terrible views on teenagers using drugs I would’ve never voted for that fucking cunt! I am expressing my opinion on this situation that I witnessed, but since it was so traumatic my quotation might be slightly incorrect but you get the jist of it. I find it very shocking that the mayor is so liberal on drug control, I hope that I am not alone in my views!
