High School Cell Phones
(Preview)
I've detected in the recent reports of violence on the High School property that officials from both the school district and local LE have a certain disdain for the students capability to communicate with each other and their parents.

Opinion Poll
(Preview)
Not really sure where this belongs, and maybe I'm just crazy, but it seems like on most of the opinions polls there are answers which are contingent upon two separate ideas being true. No offense to whoever makes the polls, but if the idea is to gauge the opinion of the people you will utterly fail. Lets l...

Street paving
