ok last post for a while

This might just confuse the hell out of you BUT---I just realized that i got cut off (psh i wonder why) at the end of "My Reaction" a few posts down~~~it cut off the whole point to the story~~~how embarrassing~~~ here it is~~~~

We re one of thoes zero tolerance schools so this is completely justified (and honestly, I really didnt want to go through all the trouble of slashing their tires if I can let the bureaucracy do some work for a change) The Dean flips and asks his permission to go up and deal with the issue right away. Mo agrees and all 3 of us march up to the offending group. Mo is the first one to speak and simply asks who said the comment (which is a complete 180 because a few minutes ago he was quite reluctant but here he is getting up in their faces This was cool to see) Being cowards none of them fess up and start the -you can't prove anything- lines (as they slowly get the idea that they re on the way to getting suspended) I chime in and say that theyre -right in that we cant prove anything but that we can prove that something really ignorant just happened that cant happen again because racism is the LAST thing we need in this school.- Mo added that he -wasnt angry but just offended and hoped that could be more respectful.- The Dean took it from there. I grabbed Mos hand and we walked off. We both are a little shaken up by the experience but are trying not to show it He thanks me for giving him a spine and I tell him that I just did what any good friend would do, which is just kick him in it to remind him that he had one It was him all the way I would have stopped if hed said no at any point Who knows what will become of the hyenas but I did see the Dean talking to the principal later on in the day gesturing to some names that were taken down during the incident. ------But whatever We re almost defiantly bombing Iraq anyways This is my own personal protest and the only other things I can do is make sure I get a good education in order to get into a position of power to prevent this from happening again and take opportunities to keep others racism at bay when I can---------I learned today just how uneducated people are Ironically, it was ignorant of me to assume that others were free from ignorance I hope I havent offended anyone but if I have GOOD because that means that you have an opinion and Id like to hear it I dont care if I have to read through 800 e-mails if it means that Ive gotten someone to think about this issue a little further. Some people protest by holding signs and marching I'm just trying to piss you off Although Im anti war, the

thing Im most interested in protesting is uninvolvement ---------PS If you got time to post a picture of your pet or kid you got time to post your opinion or better yet a SK picture of your opinion
