What is a racist?

My definition: A person who believes that people are either inferior or superior based on nothing more than the color of their skin or ethnic background. I think someone is racist if they believe some people deserve preferential treatment or mistreatment for the same reasons or they segregate themselves from other races or attempt [...]

Here you go, Mr. Fulk.

Lowell (Fulk) has recently brought a story to my attention and I think he wants my opinion on it. (I consider the way he went about doing it completely disingenuous, but I’ll save that for another post.)

Gosh, just think…

Four day school week?

With rising fuel costs some schools (not here that I know of) are considering dropping a day from the school week to save money on transportation and heating and cooling costs. Interesting idea. At first I didn’t think I would like the idea but maybe it isn’t so bad. I assume it would mean [...]
