12-Year-Old Girl Banned From School Football Team for 'Inciting Lust'

"In the meeting with the CEO of the school, I was told that the reasons behind it were... that the boys were going to start lusting after her, and have impure thoughts about her,"...

I’m no philosopher, but when you ban preteen girls from being around boys while wearing shoulder pads, “inciting lust” sounds like a flimsy reason. After all, the rest of the girls on school grounds are wearing skirts and polos and aren’t covered in reeking hand-me-down padding.

If Wall Street endorses drug use then Congress is not far behind - and the mindless consumer can fulfill their American dream of self-indulgence by adding drug -induced stupor to their daily regime of unhealthy eating. Where else is bad behavior glorified?

Baby boomers entering the pain era of their lives will soon be demanding a drug they are familiar with that works. Legalization is inevitable. As with all investments timing is the critical element for success.

looking at the end of his fork
at the free lunch bar
in the Lord Kelvin saloon


everything is cool
and getting cooler
every body must get stoned
even the man taken in adultery

The game of business
it is the game of life
with dollar signs in both my eyes

hanging from my nose.
