So, the democrats are running their primaries and plastering their candidates all over the news. They're tearing one another down, and pulling out all the nastiness from their closets. I called it cannibalism and wondered if they were going to kill themselves, but tonight I had an epiphany...

This is what infuriates me about the modern 'zero tolerance' policies public schools have taken to adopting. It excuses administrators from having to bear any responsibility for discretion. It treats kids like criminals for ANY behavior that can be linked to something criminal any other child...

If I were living in the states, I may have been planning on voting Democrat. That is, until watching them cannibalize one another in their presidential primaries. What a ridiculous display, and they haven't even made it to the actual elections yet. I don't understand this. How does party...
