Uh, no, in a school environment, giving a kid what he or she needs is looked upon with favor. Kids beg for respect, attention, safety, and a purpose. That can come through a variety of avenues and what works…works. It's also tough to have the moral high ground when an awful district education ends too many lives…

The 1st 2 examples I gave to KateH are kids whose guardians are not religious, 1 of whom (I think) never was.

After all, there's not a person here who could think of a single religious person in all of history who thought creatively or deeply! Certainly not anyone for whom religion was, in fact, the spark for that creativity or insight!

Can you? Or can you maybe guess that we could be talking about a girl who has been homeless for half a year and has bounced from school family to school family so she can get a meal and a shower, and that hearing that there's some purpose to all of this madness gives her the wherewithal to succeed in the classroom? Or…

Yes! I was such a fan and was thrilled that she got called up to the big time, and it's been dud after dud of forgettable nonsense. It's a hard job, but she came across as someone fully capable of carrying a big opening weekend movie.

Not that Notre Dame is Catholic in any meaningful way, but if there was ever a reason to enforce its former identity, not having Trump speak would be it. There's politeness, and then there's looking like the Russian Orthodox for Putin.

School district boundaries, certain states' tax legislation, and the failure of the district school "product" are what perpetuate segregation of schools.

We don't politicize the kids at our amazing voucher school, but we visited Dartmouth with some 8th graders and went to a "Policy And Politics In American Education" class, so I had to prepare them. I told the kids at that there are people out there who say things like what you wrote, and, agape, they wondered why…

It is the most beautiful place in this wonderful, wonderful country. Here's hoping West comes out with a 14-track instrumental ambient album as a result.

And what might be interesting to people is that if you're thinking 1 thing when you see the word "unnatural," you're probably wrong. I am hot and cold on it because it intentionally became a "spirituality" show more than a "religion" show when it changed names, but that was an episode well worth hearing.

With the lowest share since 2002. So, it does make a difference, as he has vastly inconsistent support.

I'm glad to hear that. They are behind Lush, Ride, and My Bloody Valentine for me, but I'm so stoked that they went pop so intriguingly on this album and apparently have an "art album" almost wrapped for next year.

And don't forget that he apologized for the sonogram law, too, which does nothing for liberals and distances himself from the Republicans.

"37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." This bill is an unlikable mess, but I hope that if you actually care, you're following the actual greatest commandment yourself!

"My fiance and I love each other. Apparently that is not enough for the Catholic faith to get behind it. "

It's like it could come from a Sierra Space Quest or King's Quest game, which is the highest compliment that I can pay something.

I agree. The square with rows is so good for risk and reward, no matter what item group you're using!

Yeah, it's 8 plus the downloadables from 8. Any more tracks and you risk people not being able to perfect their work.

Even Matt's review notes that some of the big improvements come from copying Double Dash (which is the best Mario Kart, although this one is in the top half, certainly).
