Attempts to ban saggy pants unrealistic

Published Oct 14, 2008

The latest fashion trend in communities seems to be banning saggy pants.

Scholar opinions should be valued more than celebrities’

Published Oct 14, 2008

I saw a great little number on YouTube.com a few days ago by some influential celebrities attempting to use reverse psychology to get people to vote. The video was called "Don't Vote." It was effective.

We can all agree if everyone thought cynically about his or her voice in the world, the system would collapse. So, thank you to all those positive people out there who acknowledge that although you don't really matter, it's important to let people know you exist.
