For reasons that will soon become apparent, I am retiring the name "sbagman", after over three years of service.

Easy. Go to a state school. You seem to not understand the concept that you (or your parents) have CHOSEN to go outside the state system. With that choice, you must accept the financial consequences. If you cannot accept those, then don't go to a private school. Pretty simple, I would have...

I would say we do actually. By building low density cities, we have created places which are horribly energy inefficient. Bigger houses require more energy to heat and cool. We require more energy to go from place to place, as the distances between those places increases. We rely more on the...

Jaysus! Nothing's forgotton here! That must have been six months ago!

You know how sailors wear those (usually) black pieces of material on their shoulders, with (usually) gold stripes on them to indicate rank? I'll see if I can scrounge up an image.

I work on boats. Now, I actually know nothing about boats. However, since I saved the boat from destroying itself and most of Williamstown the other week (this may be a slight exaggeration), I was given a pair of epilets as a reward. Now that I have been wearing said epilets, I find chicks...

Oh come on! You'd go her! Please please please please please please please make an old, bald man happy and say you would.

You shouldn't be reading things into that at your age, my dear. :D
