House approves plan for sex offenders to carry special ID
But student license proposal rejected
Thursday, June 15, 2006
By Ed Anderson
Capital bureau

BATON ROUGE -- The House said Wednesday that convicted sex offenders should have special orange driver's licenses as a way to better track them, but lawmakers refused to go along with a separate proposal to tie issuance or retention of a driver's license to school attendance.

The House approved Senate Bill 612 by Sen. Willie Mount, D-Lake Charles, 96-0, mandating that convicted sex offenders carry orange identification cards and driver's licenses with the words "sex offender" stamped on them as part of a "predator alert system."

But in a 42-48 vote, the House killed Senate Bill 284 by Sen. Heulette "Clo" Fontenot, R-Livingston, that would have allowed school boards to decide whether or not to participate in a two-year pilot program designed to use students' driver's licenses as leverage to keep them in class.

Erdey said Louisiana, which has the second-highest dropout rate in the nation, needs to take steps to give students 15 to 18 years old an incentive to stay in school.

Yellow Stars, Anyone? Considering how many times and places you are asked for your Driver's License, this is disturbing.

2. Louisiana is no play ground for sex offenders
Let them make no mistake about that. What does it take to get the kids to want good grades,? Take away the privilege of driving, ? I bought you a brand new Mustang-, a 1965 ,all you want to do is run around ,signified , you got to slow that Mustang down, Mustang Sally. Spare The Rod.! I would like to think that education is for everybody, Better teaching methods, it,s everybodys game, everybody plays.

3. Just A Thought
In the process of reconstruction, since the issue of education is a hot subject politically,

Building better students threw newely constructed better teaching methods;

After all education is like the disign and construction of an invertible towering wonder.

The seven wonders comming from the roots in education.

Education is everybodys game. Everybody plays. There are no losers.

Perhaps building a better America today, starts in Louisiana
If it,s everybodys game, there is no need of the rod.

The course of reconstruction is indeed after all everybodys game, is it not?

4. U.S.House representive resigns ,joins ranks with Brian Doyel
Edited on Sun Oct-01-06 05:12 PM by Wash. state Desk Jet
Tom Foley congressional representive (R) Friday of Florida resigns because of his lascivious behavior as a internet predator in soliciatition of sexual exchanges with minors over the internet.

In resigning he joins the ranks of internet predator suspected of sex offences with reguards to soliciting minors for sexual incounters-, along with Brian Doyel former press secretary Homland Security Florida based .

Mr. Doyel stands convicted.

Dangerous Dick Chaney has not made comment as of yet publicly,though and no doubt, Dangerous Dick is on the phone about it! Although none of it is least damn bit funny.

As you know, Jeb Bush- Governor of Florida is indeed , wondering how is that this thing keeps branching out of control.
