That's when the herd mentality comes in handy. Er. Except maybe in the bathroom.
You've obviously never been in the girls' bathroom at a high school, if you think there's no herd mentality in force there.
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

None that's getting you back to class when the bell, er, plays over the intercom.

Our school was neat and all, but we never had any such things as an intercom, or even lockers. The bell was just lots of little clanger things but they were LOUD!

From my more conservative Christian days in college, a bunch of us used to use this book called "Operation World" in our prayer meetings that had you pray for every country in the world over the course of a year.
I used to have that book! (Don't ask me why.) I remember the entry for the US said something like "Since the election of President Reagan, there has been a great resurgence of confidence and morality in the USA."

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Just checked EBroadcast.com.au and Buffy and Angel are listed for next Tuesday and Wednesday night respectively, in Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth. They're on a day earlier in Brisbane and Sydney. All are being screened at 10:30PM.
EBroadcast have also put together this neat little Buffy Buyers Guide.

I really like the Buffy cars they have listed, though it's a shame they got Xander's car wrong. The Chevy he drove in "The Zeppo" was green and white, not red.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
FWIW, I used to work in a school library and had the grat joy of removing and discarding a book published in 1936 about Barbary pirates. Let us simply say that the maps of modern Africa were very confusing, and not mention the general aspersions cast on the character of all Africans.
This was also the library which was struggling to go from card catalogue to computer, a problem compounded by the last 30 years of US cultural history. Because it is a school dedicated to diversity in collection, the card catalogue had subject headings for literature under AFRO-AMERICAN, AFRICAN-AMERICAN, BLACK, BLACK AMERICAN, and a few doughty frayed titles under NEGRO. Each term having been politic and polite at one point in the past 50 years.

If I only had a brain...
If it's any comfort, at least some Episcopalians do it too, although I don't know if they're using "Operation World" as a guide.

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
I know my last Episcopal church did this. It was sweet.
