Today I got in trouble during graduation practice for no apparent reason with a bunch of other "guys". We then had to write about what we "did". A friend Adam refused and a teacher got all pissing and it turned into some kind of thing about respect for America's soldiers and that you had to do this or that out of respect and that you had to salute the flag and that kind of stuff. I got to thinking of what the soldiers of the past died for, and I realized that the soldiers from long ago fought and died so we could have the choice to salute the flag or not. To do what you feel like not what is told (in the sense of you have to do this in honor of the soldiers). This pissed me off greatly because that teacher was really not being the one who honored those who died for us, and I dislike hypocrites.

This reminded me of a story I heard in college. It came from a professor, so I have no reason to doubt it. A young man at my high school (years before I attended there, which was roughly 150 years ago) experienced a similar situation at his graduation practice. He decided he didn't need to graduate after all, and the offending teacher was sure he would amount to nothing without his high school diploma. In all the years before and since, no graduate from my high school has ever achieved any sort of notoriety. But our most famous non-graduate is that young man....playwright Sam Shepard.

A question for Mono (obviously everyone can answer):

What do you mean with "health insurance"?

Hey Maxos, not too sure if this link is going to help you any but I guess I'll let someone more friendly with explaining explain it to you :)

Wow I never knew that, but that proves what I've been saying all along.

Sorry, I know this term, 'health insurance,' sounds very strange in its literal phrase.
Health insurance works strangely similarly to vehicle insurance or home insurance. Basically, a common person with health insurance pays a base amount of money (usually monthly) for coverage of seeing doctors, nurses, receiving medications or vaccines, and, though costing a little more, covering also visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers.
During any doctor's visit, however, there usually requires a small initial "co-pay," which costs way less than not having health insurance and asking for any health care.

:lol: I love Peanuts! Ironically, one of my nursing instructors, when giving a lecture on psychiatry, has the exact display of Peppermint Patty behind her desk, featuring "Psychiatric Help 5¢."
