or car crash down to some lesser nonsense that some "celebrity" is doing.
We can discuss the war in general terms leaving out the high body count
and the "true" politics of the situation.
Definitely no personal opinions surrounding the war or even the primary elections.
So my "current events" of the day usually relates to the weather, Ground Hog's Day, Changing clocks,
presidents' birthdays, latest speeding laws, and the BIGGIE??? American Idol.
***and here is the kicker****
These same parents take these same kids to see "R" rated movies
and let them play some horrid video games.
Seems we cannot win.
People will do what they wish.
Just try not to foist these articles on us in a surreptitious manner.
So, ladies, please label your threads and warn us so we know whether or not to read them.
Does my post make any sense at all?

Yes, your post makes sense. But are you SERIOUS???? When I was in school, the news was often part of the "homework". AAARRGGGHHHH, I'm only 47 and my kids are quite enlightened and I feel safe with my future in their hands. But as for some of the rest of the kids? How will they ever be able to make good decisions!!??
I feel for the teachers. Teaching with your hands tied behind your back must be uber-challenging!! Thanks for all you teachers TRY to do!!
