This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When asked whether people should be allowed to express unpopular views, 97 percent of teachers and 99 percent of school principals said yes. Only 83 percent of students did.
The results reflected indifference, with almost three in four students saying they took the First Amendment for granted or didn't know how they felt about it. It was also clear that many students do not understand what is protected by the bedrock of the Bill of Rights.
Three in four students said flag burning is illegal. It's not. About half the students said the government can restrict any indecent material on the Internet. It can't.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
About half the students said the government can restrict any indecent material on the Internet
Would this be the half that hasn't sought out porn? Or do they just think the government's crap at it?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
97 percent of teachers and 99 percent of school principals said yes. Only 83 percent of students did.
You know, this doesn't surprise me. Students are typically more conservative than faculty.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
buy in a grocery store? I need to find a good grocery store brand.
Medaglia d'oro dark roast. Safeway has it. Yummy.
People are really surprised that the average highschooler is clueless? Why? If you teach a room (or a generation) of students to do one things specifically, and that is pass some dumbass standards test, and don't expect them to learn anything else, where's the surprise?
