Take Me Out Tonight
I visited Sena and his new kitten, the one he got from Endrance. It's tie-dyed, so how could I resist? Sam Witwicky incorrectly guessed one of the recent secrets as mine but got a prize anyway. Lucky Sam. I don't blame him for his guess, since if I hadn't already known it wasn't me I'd wonder myself. Njoki Rainmaker and I agreed on a favorite Beatles song.
Aya-kun had a frustrating time talking to Kenshin. He's also having the end-of-mission blues.
(( Gojyo and Fluffy Hakkai are living in a precarious truce, and Gojyo's not okay. cats_got_claws Ken is getting less okay by the minute.))
Brody told himself to stop talking about his troubles so much because people keep volunteering to fix his life for him and asked why some people are against parents hitting their kids. Newcomer Fakir asked what lengths you'd go to to keep someone safe. A Rupert Giles asked how you deal with alternates of people you know.

In the WTFery department take this: "Why We Banned Legos: Exploring power, ownership, and equity in an early childhood classroom." I'm sure the kids learned some lessons here, but I don't think they're the ones those teachers thought they were teaching. These are the lessons the kids actually learned:
1] Any form of creativity will get you in trouble.
2] No matter how much power you think you have, adults will always have more. And they'll feel no discomfort using it to screw with your head.
3] There is nothing you have that an adult can't take away, no matter how ridiculous the adult's reason is.
4] Any nail that sticks out will be hammered down.
Among other things to headdesk over on that article, I've lived in places designed by socialists, and they sucked. Some people need to be smacked so hard their skulls spin atop their spines....
