I notice that in many of the schools in NY City Chemistry like an afterthought.

I wonder if this has anything to do with this Meth plague.

BTW the Meth addiction is a really awful one.

Whatever happened to the sit-in? Occupy a space peacefully, have a seat, and hold hands.

Works pretty well, if I recall.
The sit-in and other forms of non-violent protest has never been a favorite tool of religions or religious movements. They have always preferred violence, even the Buddhists.

Buddhists have a tradition of self-directed violence, notably self-immolation. Lately, however, they have begun to target others with murderous violence. The recent killings of Muslim Rohingyas by Buddhist mobs in Myanmar, even by Buddhist monks, is a new wrinkle and an indication that no religion truly eschews violence.

You can also look at the Samurai culture in Japan. Samurai were both profoundly religious and profoundly violent.

I hate the sight of Trump. Everything about that crass panderer grates my sack. I've never really liked Hillary. Her husband, yes, but her...........No. Forget Cruz......... He needs to get himself a big tent and go into fleecing the faithful like his old man. He'd be great at it.

I like Bernie for his honesty, his pluck and I really do think he means well. But do I think he has what it takes to run this giant Ship o' Fools? I'm not so sure about that.
I wholeheartedly agree.
