@mstafford rad and wicked will always be wicked and rad.
I like what you're saying about acceptance and tolerance. I would agree. Things that my peers would have never accepted just "are" now. There will always be cruelty, but it's nice to see the trend (at least in this part of the world) moving towards acceptance.
I think the "dumber" comment is ridiculous. I see the work load my students are expected to balance, and the fact that more people have university degrees than ever, now and I say PAH to that.
Can you still do any sick tricks with your yo-yo?
