Is any Utopia truly viable?
Possibly the "Kill the Stupid People" Utopia....
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My parents had no idea if and when I had homework or assignments. I sank or swam on my own. Of course, I never had a big 40 page project in grade 8.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hm. I wonder if that site by the author of Jennifer Government is still up. Remember when we all had our own countries there?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If the class votes that your Utopia isn't viable, you have to start over
Wait, what? Doesn't that kind of miss the point?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I have a new pet peeve! People who don't read things you send them and then call you asking questions you've already answered.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am glad today is pet peeve day, because I am FULL OF PEEVES today.

Dana's pet peeve was mine this morning, but now I'm peeved over people who ask me to print out articles and bring them up to their offices when they have a printer sitting right next to them.
It's the same person who is making me peevish.

Trust my rage
Since we are sharing peeves, my pet peeve of the moment is people who unilaterally change deadlines and then don't bother to share that with anyone else. Or share with some people and not with others.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Another pet peeve. People who cherry pick what they want to work on. Your job includes x, y, and z. You can't ignore z just cause you like x and y better.

Work pet peeve? The fact that they might layoff 5,000 teachers/librarians/school nurses and still give us a 12% paycut on top of the 5 furlough days we are getting this year (just announced) and the 7 furlough days next year.
iSearch is actually pretty fun. Or it can be. 40 pages is about right, but it should include more than just expository writing.
