Your post is too long, you need to put all of it behind an lj-cut. I whined at Chad about how there was no UAW coverage on the news last night, does that count? I will not be buying any new cars until it's over. D is regularly disheartened that she is the only one who speaks out against injustices in the classroom, though it seems to be more a function of student apathy than district policy. We can discuss whether this apathy is part of a larger conspiracy, if you'd like. You do have that right.
