Bravo to both of you.  How sad that society has come to this decline.  We
need to get our priorities back on track support education above sports.  I
am in favor of sporting actives don't get me wrong.  My sons were involved
in many sports while in school, but education came first and foremost in
our household.

How sad also that most people will pay $35.00 to $50.00 to watch men beat
each other up on t.v. but will not support an educational channel or the
fine arts.  Oh well I could go on and on.  I do however like Betsy's
suggestions on all counts.
