    What I think they didn't teach us enough in school was not the electoral process, but how to follow a presidency once someone got in office. It seems like there's all this hullaballoo about elections, as there should be, but regardless of partisan politics, we need to learn to track what presidents do once they get in office. I remember on 9/11 my history teacher refused to let us watch what was happening on TV, even though it was history in the making. Elections will polarize a classroom undoubtedly, but we need to make sure that we keep our students of what is happening after elections.

    this is so disturbing, although not surprising. There is so much our government is doing that its hard to keep track of all the stuff they're screwing up.
  • Posted By saralemaster saralemaster | 5 months ago
    this is such an awesome idea. I would so do this.
  • Posted By saralemaster saralemaster | 5 months ago
    thank you for reporting on this. there are a lot of people who don't know that this is going on, and you have thrust it into the limelight.

    I'm glad that genetic modification is finally doing something good, rather than just poisoning our agriculture with unnecessary genes. this is awesome

    I'm glad someone is reporting on this. Palin was flagged during the campaign as being anti-conservation, progun and anti-women's rights. I will report later on the travesties she inflicted on women in her community as mayor, but you've hit it on the nose here: she's a terrible politician. Thank you so much for writing this.

    whaling is hideous. I can't believe Switzerland, of all places, is supporting this.

    In the US, we have what are called "gated communities" which is where rich people are separated from everyone else by a physical gate. Sometimes these communities have their own grocery stores, businesses and everything else you could need. This makes it so that housewives of rich CEOs don't have to venture outside their world to get a gallon of milk or anything for that matter.

    hysterical. whats even funnier is how lube sales have gone up since people are spending more time at home with their significant others than going out-- sex is cheaper entertainment than dinner and a movie, and that's usually where you end up any way.
  • Posted By saralemaster saralemaster | 5 months ago
    This is very true. As someone who grew up in an area where abstinence-only was the only way, I will say this: you can't tell teenagers not to do it. The only way is to give them a way to do it safely. A lot of the people I went to high school with either have kids or are pregnant. Most of my sister's friends from her graduating class have kids already. She's 19. If there had been more prevention, and if we would talk about the issue more than just sweep it under the rug, maybe this wouldn't be so prevalent. One thing that I didn't mention in the article was the type of "terrorism" these people engage in. Where I live, Planned Parenthood was building a new facility and these protesters would canvass the neighborhood of the contractor, leave him harassing messages and notes on his door. I think that they just don't have the correct avenue for their anger.

    Ahh... PETA. They're like Greenpeace, except they actually do things. As a political and social activist, I respect the fact that PETA thrusts things out into the limelight with their grotesque photos, but you don't change peoples' opinions that way.

    Myself an eco-vegetarian, I appreciate that there are other peeps out there who share the same sentiment. There are way too many people out there who don't understand the environmental impact of eating meat. One of my favorite books, "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" by Thom Hartmann, dictates that 99-cent hamburgers are one of the largest reasons for global deforestation-- it takes something like 40 acres of rainforest to produce 1 lb. of beef protein.

    It is rather disturbing, and not a whole lot of people know about it.
  • Posted By saralemaster saralemaster | 5 months ago
    Its disgusting. What is most disturbing is how liberal Boulder is. I would expect this in a more conservative area, such as Longmont or Estes Park, but not Boulder. We need to be educating our children on how to interact positively with each other.

    I wouldn't say that making frogs explode and then growing up to be president necessarily makes Bush innocent here. In a way, he has been a serial killer if you consider the wars he has started. He also killed my american dream for 8 long years.
