My soccer team, the Knights of Cydonia, is 0-2.

Hopefully, school will settle down and I'll be able to write some more. Things have been very busy, in an excellent way. I'll try and be back with some thought-provoking links soon.

Until then...wish me luck.

At the least, clever.

How little we know file...

This time, about female circumcision. This also counts as more evidence that zero-tolerance policies are bad policies in every sphere.
