Huh!!?? Last pics I saw from your tank were pretty awesome!... And glad your friend got your head turned the right way again...

Well, I for one think it is a terrible miss appropriation of public funds. A better politician would make a choice not to such a thing. A better government would not allow such a thing. There are definitely a lot of holes in the system.

I would never want to be a politician. Pretty much every single decision you make, some one is going to hate you for. You can not appease the entire population. The best you can do is find a balance of sorts. There are a lot of good politicians doing great work because they are passionate about their constituents. For example, we have a great major.

I tend to agree with you, but this story, it's only the media side of things intended to sell news. I wouldn't think that this woman entered politics to do bad...as most politicians intend to do good like your Mayor.
Your mayor made the "world" news for all the good things he did.
Unfortunately, most individuals in the political realm have the negative things associated to them published, hence why most of us would never take on the task of such leadership.

INTERESTING!!!

Was tired if how boring and plain all my snails are , so out of interest decided to glue 30 polyps of zoanthids to a golf ball sized turbo now instead of a coralline golf ball cruising around I have something colorful :)

If this lasts I'm doing all my snails lol

I think you may be onto something. Why should tuxedo urchins be the only ones that get to cruise around with garnish

Been cruising some model train forums because I want to build my son something for his room and because his favourite toy is his wooden train table. Man, this looks to be another expensive endeavour! Lol
