I doesn’t sound like it’s parents objecting to these books.

Well, the Elves did hunt the Dwarves before they realised they too were Children of Iluvatar.

How many hands do you have?

If you put that book in a kindergarten library, I can guarantee none of the kids will read it.

The only two reasons not to have it are 1) budget and 2) space. Use the room and money for books the kids will read.

I’ve worked in school libraries.

The funny thing is that kids will only read things that are of interest to them, and if they’re interested in it, they’re old enough to read it. If they borrow it because they like the cover or all their friends have apparently read it or some such reason, you can be assured it’ll be returned after they get through the first page.

In Australia the coal and gas industries appear to be pushing nuclear quite hard, mainly because they distract from the renewable options preferred by the market. They know that while we’re arguing over literally every other power source, they can just keep burning holes in the ground.

The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…

Those people were already voting for him. No one is saying, ‘Oh no, they just found a criminal guilty of a crime! That’s not the American way!’

Well, a few billionaires and their SCOTUS lackeys might, but we’ll see.

Why? There aren’t too many undecided voters who will suddenly decide, ‘Hey, he’s definitely a criminal, so I might just give him my vote.’

And anyone who doesn’t think he’s guilty was already going to vote for him anyway.

I’m not sure I completely agree with the number-line-only approach, but I’m definitely sympathetic to it. It reinforces the idea that fractions are numbers like any other numbers, and not pieces of pizza.

Oh, bullshit. Men were happy to commit all sorts of atrocities (more so, in fact) when society only had room for men. If men don’t like the fact they can no longer legally rape their wives, or use, ‘But she burnt my dinner!’ as a reasonable excuse for breaking a woman’s bones, or use , ‘Look at the way she was dressed!’ as an excuse for rape, that’s just tough.

There’s no room for that in our society anymore, and if that sounds like a bad thing, leave.

Isn’t that how the open-source community operates?
