Only if we have an educated electorate can we have a truly democratic form of government. We need to check on them (public officials) or we'll lose it all.

I just think everybody should be aware of what their government officials are doing. It's a check and balance.

It would be hoped that the minutes are an accurate reflection of the actions taken by the governing body. But the minutes are just the tip of the iceberg.

It had been something I'd been aching for a while.

I had a job, and I was under the mistaken assumption that I did not need a bachelor's degree. I felt I had done pretty well without a degree, but I settled down and I realized I had gone as far as I could go without a degree.

I got a 3.95 (grade-point average).
