    I'm merely interested where this was cut and paste from. And the rifle thing....even then, no one had any business leaving a rifle in their car. And the reference to Ritalin is merely a symptom of how people are quick to demonize or misunderstand prescription medicine.

    And I betcha somewhere on the site this was taken from was some anti-NEA pap.

    Then: Blacks were lynched for trying to gain equal access.

    Now: Racists, homophobes and closet homosexuals blame everyone else for the White Man's problems.

    The 1950s were great for racists, war mongers and McCarthyism.

    Some things never change see printdust, Halliburton-owned W administration and suggestions that anyone opposing current PResident's plans are anti-American.

    Next you'll say dentists should have their own schools. I bet you're an anti-dentite!

    You forgot the second half of the 2006 "what happens"..... Johnny's parents become millionares after successfully suing the school for having faulty playground conditions that resulted in his scraping his knee and becoming the victim of a sexual predator. Johnny's family then moves out of town as the school district has to raise taxes by an ungodly amount to cover the cost of the lawsuit.

    Wait, things were different 50 years ago? No way!

    Hey can I start posting all the e-mails I forward or get forwarded to me, too? I got this one about "you know you're a redneck when..." that I think everyone would find hilarious.

    Has anyone heard about hookers in Vegas drugging male tourists, putting them in a bathtub full of ice, and then stealing a kidney?

    I love it when people post email forwards.

    I so rarely get the chance to fully enjoy them in my inbox. It's a pleasure to come here and have the opportunity to peruse them carefully.
