So I did miss being home while abroad, but this great county of ours is getting more and more absurd by the moment, and everyone else in the world seems to know it except us.

Yesterday I read a story about a 10 year old getting arrested (and handcuffed) for bringing scissors to school due to a "zero tolerance" policy. See, scissors could be a potential weapon, as are pens and pencils. I'm sure you could knock someone out cold with those heavy text books.

And then this morning NPR ran a story where the narrator was trying to figure out why American school kids are dumber than the rest of the world. Following that, another story about a group trying to push creationism in public schools rather than evolution.

Hmmm...
