Christmas Run Amok!
Dec 20, 2007 - 02:12 amWhen it comes to displaying your holiday spirit in a very public fashion, how much is too much?

Dec 20, 2007 - 02:12 amTime to Flip the Switch ON on Nuclear Power!
Dec 13, 2007 - 03:12 pmThese new nuclear power plants promise the quickest and safest and most realistic way to move our country from one that is dependent on oil to one that is dependent on NO ONE for its entire energy picture. Oil, coal, natural gas – eventually they will all run out.
Renewable resources. Solar, wind and the like are great ideas but not even close to being ready or able to carry the energy load in this country in a way that is either effective or affordable. Nuclear, on the other hand, is here, is now, is ready and hopefully is finally about to be taken advantage of.
Gender Issue
Dec 03, 2007 - 04:12 pmThe answer is yes, both times. I think it is time we start pushing this idea forward in our area, especially for middle school students. If you have your doubts, you need look no further than South Carolina, a leader among states that offer public schools with single gender classrooms. The results are indisputable…
Between hormones and peer pressure and self-doubt, the middle school years present a uniquely difficult educational challenge to both teachers and students - creating a classroom atmosphere where students can get beyond those things and actually concentrate on learning and where teachers have a fair shot at getting through to the students.
Red Wine and Blue
Dec 01, 2007 - 07:12 pmAccording to the encyclopedia, blue laws are “,,,a type of law designed to enforce moral standards, particularly the observance of Sunday as a day of worship or rest. Most have been repealed, declared unconstitutional or are simply unenforced, although prohibitions on the sale of alcoholic beverages… on Sundays are still enforced in many areas.”
There it is. It is constitutional to pass a law whose intention is to enforce someone’s moral standards. And yet we continue to make an exception for the sale of alcohol. In the case of selling booze, someone HAS indeed decided it is morally wrong to do so on a Sunday.
I didn’t think you could make “exceptions” to the constitution. Amendments, yes, but exceptions?
