    I could start a web site devoted to the idea that the Smith family is the cause of all our problems and should be destroyed. Get a number of people to agree with me.

    If I want to put together a rally of all the people who agree with me, the Smith family has every right to consider this a violent act and defend themselves. Even if I have a permit and they don't. And even if they swing first, they are not the reason violence happened. And no one would tut-tut them and say they should have just let me alone, really both sides are a problem.

    This came out 10-15 years ago.

    In general, results showed a pattern of negative effects for students who worked during high school. In particular, working in the final year of high school had a significantly negative effect. These negative effects occurred even from working a small number of hours per week. The negative effects of working during Grade 12 were consistent across gender, ethnicity, ability, economic background and type of work.

    Negative effects of working during high school

    At the time, 75 percent of American high schoolers were working, while in Japan it was 27 percent and in Taiwan it was 26 percent.

    It isn't worth it. My oldest is a senior, and I don't know where he would fit it into his schedule.

    But you do apparently think she was "asking--just asking" for it. And she "knew it."

    Your words.

    I understand you believe this, and think it should be codified in law, but it isn't.

    And, until it is, those expressing Nazi views should be able to apply for, and receive a permit for a rally, and not fear assault.

    My kids worked during the summers, but during the school year there was no way they could with their schedules.

    I have no doubt that if my parents hadn't made me work I would have had the grades for Northwestern or Notre Dame. Instead, I was closing at Ponderosa Steakhouse until midnight.

    Legally? Maybe, but that law sure is unevenly applied.

    But morally? No. Anyone who shows up and does violence to them is a damn hero.

    Not even to offer them a Pepsi?

    OK. But how is that different than people who, as YF argues, root for prison rape?

    If he'd issued that statement on Saturday - minus patting himself on the back for the economy - he could have avoided a whole lot of criticism.

    Alright! We now have the president in agreement that Nazis are bad!

    Progress is slow, people.
