It's scary to hear that the performance of an opera can be cancelled because of ignorance such as this. The parents obviously want to perpetuate in their children the poor education they seem to have received themselves.

Looks that way, doesn't it? The scarier thought is that these are the kind of people in charge of our (USA) government right now.

Rob at Depthmarker reports that the operation of 6 major US ports is being handed over to a company owned by the United Arab Emirates (http://depthmarker.blogspot.com/ 2006_02_19_depthmarker_archive.html#11403679647234 0699).

The world needs to be very afraid.

BW- yes, I heard about that and it still in the planning stages. It would be laughable if it was so frightening.

ally- I thought she was pretty cool, too. That's the kind of teacher everyone should have.
