In the news
Some things I've found interesting:
Walmart have agreed to stop locking staff in stores overnight without access to a key...There's a debate about whether its right a teenager is in jail because her friend killed a policeman, and then himself, after they got caught speeding away from her ex-boyfriends house where they had broken in to get her belongings. She was handcuffed in the back of a police car at the time but has been convicted anyway because of 'cause and effect'...CU students have set up a website to report tutors who have a liberal bias... I hadn't realised the traditional English hunt - red coats, hounds and all - had been transplanted over here, exactly the same but with coyotes instead of foxes; there was an interview with the hunt leader with all the usual excuses...I have also discovered something called muttonbusting thanks to the Rocky Mountain News. Its like a rodeo, but with sheep. and children.
