Blow before you start in our new national kindergarten. What do these control freaks think they are doing? Presiding over a nation of children? What's next? Toilets that won't flush until the camera verifies you've wiped your ass clean? I know, I know, "If we could save just one asshole....." posted by Eric on 02.19.04 at 04:18 PM
