• Commented on Wired Kids Wired Bus
  I agree that bus rides are a time for social interaction and other sorts of fun-having shenanigans. I also agree with your point that this district should be applauded for thinking outside the box. However, our world is becoming too...
• Commented on Climate change - Possible effects on human health.
  Very good point about saving our skins as well. Climate change is a whole bag of worms in itself, suitable for a semester long class probably, but the fact is that it is true and happening. Maybe if we talk...
