Lets Have Capitalist Children

WorldNetDaily: Child abuse in government schools
From the article:

Monday, December 29th, 2003

Arg, I’ve been playing with CSS for a while, and now I wish that I could go back to the happy RED look.
Oh, well… I wanted more space for links and the like. I guess the main pain is getting IE and Mozilla to look the same. So far so good.

Friday, December 26th, 2003

“OK, but first…”
