The Board of Supervisors is looking to develop the entire Lorton area into tract housing on 0.001 acre plots, similar to this: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.696053,-77.232814&spn=0.005409,0.011362&t=h&z=17 They are literally drooling at the thought of collecting taxes on all those houses.

"Health room services are still designed to provide basic care to sick and injured students and to notify parents and guardians when further health follow-up is needed." Umm... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what a "clinic" is all about? Do we *really* need this kind of dumbing-down here in the Commonwealth? Argh.

Pat Herrity introduced a motion to block the expansion, and he cited a long list of complaints which we're all familiar with. An increase in traffic fatalities, development out of character with the surrounding area, development in an environmentally-protected region of land, the surrounding communities being 100% against the expansion, etc. After seeing a number of Supervisors agree with the t

You do have full control over your own, of course, including the right to raise them to be as anti-religious as you want. It's not "Child abuse," it's "Freedom of choice."

There is no need to bribe anybody. We have more than enough mutton-headed proponents of diversity in the County government to allow this expansion to go through completely unchecked, based solely on the fact that it is non-Americans that are asking to expand in an ecologically-protected area. If this were a Christian school, it would've been shot down before the paperwork was even signed. (Or

(Newington was originally a glebe, by the way. Most of the land around the intersection of Accotink Rd and Newington Rd belonged to the local parish initially, and was later sold to Richard "Hard" Chichester, who was reportedly a real character. His family's grave remains near the intersection to this day, though the surrounding area has really been built up - which is the Fairfax County way.)

"Glebe" refers to the boundaries of an old Church reservation, back when the Anglican Church was the official religion of Virginia, if I recall correctly. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P3-821758281.html I believe Backlick Road was named for one of the creeks that runs up in Springfield near the Washington Post's printing plant.
