To everything that's pure, good and wholesome.


Sorry.. I'm all caught up in the "Snowden is a traitor" threads and had to let that out.

(Hey ... calling someone a "traitor" is fun. I have a not unpleasant tingly sensation. I've got goosebumps! Try it.)

Not unrelatedly... and somewhat more seriously... did you ever notice the parallels between the arbitrary and unscrupulous actions of some school boards and those prerogatives usually claimed for themselves by sovereign states?
