I was at church tonight, completely depressed when I came out turned on WRJN and heard the results. Somehow 200,000,000 is just not enough to teach 21,000 kids. We need new leadership.

I would agree completely. Perhaps we need to look into removing some of the leadership positions. Who is up for a vote next?
