One administrator says they "demonstrated a level of aggression" that violates the school's zero-tolerance policy toward violence. [MetaFilter] This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. It demonstrates the stupidity of "zero tolerance" policies. What happened to logic & reason? I really feel sorry for kids going to school now. They're not allowed to play or have any kind of fun. Did the school adminstrators forget the things they did when they were kids? 10:24:55 PM    Comments []

The Free State Project. The Free State Project aims to coordinate the move of approximately 20,000 "liberty-oriented" people to a state such as New Hampshire, and then proceed towards secession by "first reforming state law, opting out of federal mandates, and finally negotiating directly with the federal government for appropriate political autonomy." [kuro5hin.org] Interesting idea. Since Bush proclaims this a "Christian" country and I'm not a Christian, I don't feel that this country's government represents me. Only thing, I wish they'd move it to a warmer climate like Florida. 2:26:16 PM    Comments []
