Story of the Day

Its always upsetting when I see news stories where parents kill their kids for some random reason. So today, there was a story in the Houston Chronicle about a mother who dropped her 2 kids at the fire station and drove off. They had pissed her off & she'd had enough. While they were too old to be covered by Baby Moses' law, the mom won't be charged with any crime. And yes, she did finally go back to get them after she'd cooled off but CPS was eagerly awaiting. The kids though reportedly had a grand time at the fire station.

Now I just wish other parents would do the same instead of having to do this and this and this. Each of these parents should have a one-way ticket to life in prison. Forget due process . . . just throw them in the slammer & call it a day.

It's 5 am & I'm still up writing my Note draft that's due this Monday. When I picked my topic, I thought it was amazing. But now, not so much. There is just no research out there & there's no way to change your topic once the editors assign it to you (we had to write 3 topics & they chose 1 out of those three). So I need to figure something out very fast because the Mon 5pm deadline is looming very large. What's at stake you ask? 2 credits - which are only given to you if you meet the good faith effort, as is yet once again determined by the editors . . . but I digress.
