        Oh, especially in schools. In fact, it'd probably be better to do away with every school that isn't explicitly religious conservative - we wouldn't want kids being unfairly influenced, after all! 'The People' don't want evolution being taught? Well, 'The People' know best! Flood geology may be an entirely retarded field, but the small self-governed communities of illiterate rednecks know best!

            Oh yes! Hallelujah! I can finally see the conspiracy directed towards Christianity perpetuated by the Evilutionists and science as a whole. Ohh, it's all so clear. I can finally see why the US should be disintegrated into trillions of smaller countries. It all makes sense now.

                    Their plot to weaken the US with homosexuality, feminism, social Darwinism, convincing people that shockingly immoral acts are perfectly acceptable because "we're all just monkeys anyway"!? Phhh. I ain't no stinkin' monkey. Did you know that the only reason Obama got elected was because of the twisted Leftist media? Also, he used brainwashing techniques during his speeches, like how he uses a round emblem, repeats words, and moves his hands when he talks. It's all very scientific, and not the dumb Secular science either.

                          I think the school pays the coach, but they give him other stuff to do so they can call him a "teacher." Our coach taught Drivers Ed. But going back to your OP, there must be some part of it funded by the school system or they wouldn't be talking about eliminating sports to save money.

                                  If it was a Catholic school, indoctrination might have been the least of your worries.

                                      One of the school districts here is toying with the idea of eliminating sports as a way of getting through the budget crunch. The way people are whining about it, you'd think someone poisoned their puppy. I suppose we could save the jocks by eliminating a few math and science classes. I'll bet they'd favor that approach.

                                      It's too bad. I am a neither a jock or a nerd but somewhere in the middle. To this day I still participate in competive sports and I am a firm believer that a strong body is key to a fit and organized mind. Why not just have them raise funds like we did when we were kids?

                                        There's nothing clever about it at all- it's just a case of the mower having rollers which bend the grass as they roll it - so they mow back and forth 'horizontally' then again 'vertically'. the 'light' coloured grass is that bending away from your viewpoint, as it forms a more continuous surface (relatively speaking) than that bending toward you, which is a mass of gaps and shaded hollows. Thats why, in the pic, the 'horizontal' stripes are less obvious - the grass is bending parallell with our viewpoint, and hence the difference between left and right bent blades is less than those bent toward or away from us. You can do it with a 2 stroke victa if it has a roller (in fact it sort of works without one, only with horizontally-rotating blades the effect is much less pronounced, as the blades do tend to swirl rather than lie flat. You can do it with just a roller - no mower required - or even by dragging a board behind your mower (I recommend you have a ride on-for this!) With a bit of practice... You can do this[^] or even this![^]

                                        I had a push mower that used to leave that pattern on the grass.

                                          Not exactly. He actually tried to convince you that the government is diluting Arts, Sports, etc, by getting involved and that left alone it would flourish more.

                                          This statement is false
