David's Corner

There are many important topics that complicate this subject. CTA and PACE have good ideas, but not enough funding. Public transit is a privilege that can make our world better. Having public transportation allows us to affordably  go to work, shop and visit friends & family, all while saving money on gas and parking. For the disabled, this is often their only way to get anywhere. Sounds too good to be true, right? Yes, it is. Some complaints include rude bus drivers and passengers, graffiti, pickpockets,  drinking and violence. This is annoying-- especially to expectant mothers, the elderly, the disabled-- and costs taxpayers' money! This is a tragedy. How can we change this? We can start by setting an outstanding example to our young adults/adults of being neat and considerate and when we see problems, report them to the proper authorities. We must all do our part at the table of goodwill.

Education is very important  in today's world. First off, education should make you feel good about yourself and make you happy. Education is also an important tool  because it is key to getting a good career, making a living and staying out of trouble with the law. I think it's a shame if a young adult doesn't take the opportunity to get an education. At a young age, they must have lost their love for learning and they are taking it out on themselves.
