in a recent cnn article, the marine’s toys for tots rejected 4,000 jesus dolls (retailed at $20 each) by the one2believe company. the reason? the government program doesn’t know the religious affliation of the children receiving this toys and--and here’s the amusing part--it was said that "kids want a gift for the holiday season that is fun." as a government entity i can understand why those dolls weren’t taken, but it is unfortunante that the generousity couldn’t have been used...i guess a christian charity might have been a better organization to donate. that being said, who would of thought that jesus would be rejected because, in part, he isn’t "fun"?

people are so rude! yesterday tested my patience. some teenagers (this is just speculation, but i think a very accurate speculation) wrote obscenities on one of the libraries computers and left it up for patrons to see (against chinese people and mormans [sic]), took half of a shelf of children’s books and scattered them in the children’s section (even hid them behind other shelves), and brought food into our computer lab. others were rude....talking to me whi...
