Balivanich new school 5/8/11
Sirs,
Here we have it; I see in Balivanich a' BIG Blue Metal Box called the new school.
Well, how much can we be fooled in total in the name of politics and socialism. Very soon another metal box will appear in Daliburgh.
Of course the usual to-
God forgive me of what I see going on. How blinkered can people get in life?
What in the name of truth and logic is going on here ?
If anyone were lucky enough to come back to Daliburgh in one hundred years from now
and the old school had been left alongside the new, I can guarantee them the old
school would be in better condition. Just like their souls -
May the good Lord have mercy on them all for their lack of astuteness and lack of foresight at the taxpayers expense.
Putting those blots on the landscape at overbearing cost to our children and grandchildren, no doubt.
As it was often said in our own tongue:'S fheàrr a bhith dhìth a chinn na a bhith

Seadh ma tha, chan e idir, a dhuinne gun suilean, na ciall a bharrachd.
To conclude, I have witnessed and know of more successful students that have proved themselves worldwide coming from thatched houses and solid stone built schools than I shall ever see coming from the tin boxes that are now prevalent.
Sadly the same is true of sports. When footballers and even local athletes have performed and proved themselves more by playing in their own back yards than in fancy sports halls and all the other psychological institutions that they now spend time in.
What next guys? Just give us a break on this blind modern philosophy will you.
