Standardizing Arguments

Taxpayers face big hike.

2. It is reality, the economy is down.
3. It could be worse than before.
4. It is hard to find cuts, because the province dictates certain needs.
5. Art, Culture and Heritage will have less funding.
6. Expect cuts in the budget.
7. Savings may be used, however there is debate.

Therefore,

1. Taxpayers may be paying much more. (Puddicombe)

a little regret...

I feel some regret for posting a previous post labelled "..."... when I wrote it I was really frustrated and angry. I based it solely from rumours, overheard conversations and a feeling of anger. I'd just like to apologize.

Enthymeme & Burden of Proof (Onus Probandi)

The powerpoint will be posted when I upload them to my filehost.

... cont.

Today has been a very hectic day... waking up 3 minutes before the bus ... moustrap car (unit project physics), english class.. I really just wanted to be home sleeping. My laptop is supposed to come in today... and thus ... I did not go to yoga. I wanted to be home. O.o I'm still a little mad over english... I don't like mind games like that. I realize there is a reason.. but its jeopardizing marks.

...

I'm really not very happy about class today. The evaluation of group is really unfair. We feel that all should have the same mark for reseacrh, but because of "No 2 people can have the same mark"... we all have different marks. I may have an overall 5/5... but i dont think its fair for the others. Apparantly it only will count for 0.5% of the class... but we're (grade 11s) already 10% below our desired mark. Which brings me to my next point. The fact that we're apparantly being compared to the best of the grade 12s... Thats definately not fair. My mark should not be based on them, but on me. Only me. They all have another year experience, and that year is the most important in high school. In grade 10, we were given easy, busy work. Now, in grade 11, we're given real work. We have all of 1 month experience with this, they have a year (minimum). They have much more experience than us. My mark is not a toy, I need a high mark (especially in grade 12 english) to get into desired universities. Im sorry, but this mark toying is bullshit.
