The West Virginia legislature has passed an education bill after stewing over it for a long time. The teachers and their unions have been dead set against it and fought hard to keep it from passing. It may be one of the most important bills passed in a long time in West Virginia and hopefully so. After being in the lower end of the education quality, with WV ranked at between 48 and 46 out of 50 states, something had to happen. While the teachers and their unions fought to keep the status quo, the majority of the legislature fought to change education in West Virginia to something better than it has been for some time.

My wife and I used to go to a movie now and then but recently there have been no movies worth seeing. The last movie that we thought was a family friendly show turned out to be worse than what used to be X-rated movies, so we usually do not go to any movies with an R rating. This past weekend my brother-in-law and his wife were visiting, and he and I went to a movie to pass some time while the wives were at a baby shower. The movie was billed as a romantic comedy, but we were in for far more than romance and comedy. The F-word was used in every scene with accompanying descriptions of positions and other sexually oriented material. There were scenes depicting sex acts and one showing male masturbation and ejaculation. While not all of the act was visible, it was enough to make you sick. Along with the sex and language was the use of drugs as a routine thing with no consequences and, of course, some alcohol use. The movie, which had a good storyline and tried to address some of the political and social problems we see today, was just filthy and detracted from anything that it was trying to show. It ended up being a lesson in filthy language, sex and drug use.
