I want to ask: If you could only get rid of 1 tax which would it be? The food tax, the inheritance tax or the hall tax (tax on investment income)

I also want to know their positions on fracking and mountaintop mine removal

Are you ok with the General Assembly intervening in local issues like they did in Memphis and Shelby County?

Would you vote for additional legislation that would continue to complicate the issues in the Memphis/Shelby County schools matter?

How about "In what ways can we use principles from the Koran to improve areas of our lives?" The brainsplsion would be interesting to watch.

Ask for their definition of "establishment of religion."

Yous hould ask if we have to stone all adulterers or if we can shoot some of them. Finding that many stones could get time intensive.

Basically, she should just read the Bartlett speech ;D

How do you stone the people who plant crops side by side or wear mixed fibers? Can you do that on your own, or should you call the police?

I cant keep up with the suggestion we get rid of the constitution and go back to declaration of independence. Creationism and their baptisms at 13

Apparently Thomas Jeffersons separation of church and state was to keep the govt out of religion not to keep religion out of govt

Oh, that's an old one.

But, really? Get rid of the constitution? The declaration has nothing to do with laws. What do they propose in its stead? Oh, yeah, the bible. Better work on my stoning arm (or, more realistically, I'd better work on outrunning stones).

Yes. Much of the discussion was on whether FSSD and WCS should merge to save money.

I was shocked none of them said we should keep FSSD since it is a convenient way of segregating most of the minorities in the county for grades K-8. The discussion was centered more on the fact there are a lot of duplicate services/administration and FSSD spend $13k/per kid vs. WCS $8k. They all failed to mention that FSSD has schools that are 60+% free/reduced lunch/ESL
