When to Call it Quits

Allen Thomas, author and frequent guest, joins Kim in-studio as they discuss current ballot questions and school board candidates.  The organic way to increase government revenue is to unleash the private sector by lowering taxes, rules and regulations.  Vote NO on Question 2E, Lone Tree’s proposed 55% retail sales tax increase.  Kim’s We the People Voter’s Guide is extremely useful when voting on the three statewide questions and school board candidates.  Two school board candidates discuss with Kim why they are in the race, both from School District 27J.  Rene Beach has three children in the school district, and wants to get rid of outside influences and instead allow the voices of parents, the true stakeholders, to be heard.  Ashley Conn has a child in the school district and is dissatisfied with what is being taught.  Both candidates want to reclaim their children’s education by emphasizing reading, writing, arithmetic and critical thinking skills.  Both candidates will implement transparency of the curriculum.

Allen Thomas’ new op-ed is When to Call it Quits.  He begins his conversation with Kim referencing a fable regarding a donkey, tiger and lion.  The lion punishes the tiger for wasting his time arguing with the donkey, an “uneducated fool.”  Our time is valuable and should not be wasted.  We must engage with minds that are fertile and responsible, focus on what unites us, and use a tone of respect.  There are some minds that will never be changed regardless of logic or reason.  Hal Van Hercke, owner of Castlegate Knife and Tool, remarks that there have been some supply chain challenges for his business.  Hal is working with all of his suppliers to ensure that this Christmas gift giving season will not leave anyone unhappy.  Visit Castlegate for a wide selection of knives, tools and watches.
