That is true, and as you said they have lost some. What was the black gang member's name, who got killed? They lost him too. I really love the new teacher who isn't afraid to say what he feels (admitted that he had masturbated while thinking of one of the students!)

That is the woman who was talking behind Ronnie's back in front of all of the other teachers, right? That is the one I hate, but think if she is like that all the time, that she would be good to keep, kind of like a Dr. Smith on Lost in Space. (giving away my age!)


>#2 Not all baby-boomers like Malcom in the Middle.

I guess I used the term loosely, not those born in the period of Vietnam, but those who enjoy booming out babies as if there is no world population crises(70,000 million net more people on the earth every year than the year before and will reach 7 billion in the next ten years!)
I know that isn't fair, since there are likely people who have large families who do care about the earth and also those who have no children who could care less about what humanity is doing to our precious planet!
