Fear and money form powerful adversary
Perhaps the wealthiest of wealthy people are not just thoughtless and greedy. Perhaps they are merely fighting for their way of life, for their now total dependence on money. To make money to invest in programs that make money, you have to have money.
Unfortunately for them, the rest of us need money for so many other things that the whole system has become lopsided and grinding to a halt.
President Obama, with his enthusiasm, experience, training, and schooling, believes that he sees the way out. With his enthusiasm he convinced the majority of Americans to let him try.
Fear and money form a powerful adversary. The majority must understand that the battle will be tough. The majority must understand the need to join forces in a common effort. The ball is now in the court of the majority.

Expand, don’t cut music program
The Music Festival presented by Ramona High School’s Choirs was outstanding. Janessa Anderson did a great job working with the students. Of course the performances of the Chamber Choir and the Concert Choir were laudable.
Regrettably attendance at the festival was not what it should have been. Music creates feelings within us that science can not duplicate. The music just made you want to be a better person.
It is said, ”that of all art forms music ranks first because it best ministers to human need.” It is unconscionable that our school board would even consider eliminating music programs. Any board member in attendance at the Festival would agree.
The entire community should tell our school board simply, “do not cut our music programs, increase them. “
John Rajcic, Ramona
