Hocus pocus, yawn.

I was flipping through Parade this morning (that extra hour, it's great for being able to relax and read the entire Sunday paper) and this caught my eye:

Now there’s an effort to pull the world’s most popular wizard, Harry Potter, from school libraries in Gwinnett County, Ga. Why? Some parents say kids can’t tell fantasy from reality and will try casting spells on classmates.

Wow. Kids will try casting spell on classmates. I would think that would only be a problem if the spells actually worked. Is that what the parents are scared of?

I checked out the Gwinnett Daily Report, and it doesn't sound like that big a deal...the local Board of Education smacked the...concerned parent, shall we say...down back in the spring, so she submitted her appeal to the state earlier this month. Public opinion, from my glance at the editorials and letters, doesn't seem to be on the concerned parent's side.

Reality. How dull.

obviously like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I¡¦ll definitely come back again.
