laylomo I had the "drink less soda" resolution 2 years ago, but instead of milk, I wanted to drink more water. Anyways, it's not too hard. After a few short days, I weaned myself off soda and drank a lot more water. I do enjoy a nice, cold Coke once in a while though....

laylomo I doubt I would be able to keep it for long. Come on, you've got to have some goal. Though they may not be attainable, it'll be good to share.

What is your favorite class? My favorite class was European History in high school because it was challenging, yet we learned interesting facts about European figures and events.

laylomo I think Congress meant for it to be a two-pronged attack. They wanted to support the program and deter people from smoking. So it's a win win I guess. But I agree to some extent that poorer, smoking families will suffer. The rich should be contributing...

laylomo On top of liberal, conservative, libertarian, and populists, there are a lot of theories that have to do with political thought. But generally, this is the most accepted form of political theory. Funny thing, I took that test about a week before you...

laylomo Thank you for the useful set of information. This whole situation reminds me of how parents are against their children being held back. Although it's better for the child and school to have the child held back, it's frowned upon by our culture.

laylomo Yes I agree. I could care less about which team won a national title. But sometimes they are kind of related. For example, Michael Vick's dog fighting issue came to light and it dominated the news. He's a celebrity also.
