Re: “Letter From the Editor”
Gwc, if you want to have a serious conversation about government spending and debt, it should begin with military spending. Otherwise, you're just parroting a tired line.

Love that drink.

CHG - A comparison of US schools to other US schools means nothing to me, much like your interpretation of anything.
Re: “Letters To The Editor”
I'd like to see Mr Gillihan to take those test scores and make a list of the countries that lead the United States. Then, make notation of the economic models of those countries. Which ones provide free primary and secondary education with state-sponsored post-secondary education? Which ones have a centralized education system? Which ones concern themselves with humanism? Then look at which ones concern themselves with teachings of god and religion and the ones which ones have strong private school systems. I think you'll find the ones he support on the bottom.
Alas, I doubt that he will. He doesn't seem the type to be concerned with facts. Which is what the standardized tests look for - math, science, reasoning, reading, and their application to real-life. Something a religion-focused and separatist nation, which he obviously desires, has never had need for. So, the low scores should be a blessing to someone like Mr Gillihan.
Re: “New Website Allows Memphians to Woo Airlines”
It has been a well-known, running joke in Memphis for many years that to save money, one flies from Nashville or Little Rock. My question is: why the seemingly sudden and pointed interest? Where was this concerted effort before, and who or what is driving this?
Re: “Beale Street Landing Has a Problem (Again)”
Gatesofmemphis, I would venture that based solely on the history of the project, it's the former.
