Grading parents, ghosts, and prune whip

The woman (TV email) who had a secret abortion at age 13 apparently had inattentive parents. Perhaps, monitoring parents and giving them grades might reduce the amount of irresponsibility that causes children to have to ask the schools for the moral guidance which is their parents' obligation. Parents who don't properly prepare their children for school should be told. . . and told again.

I don't have enough imagination to see ghosts. Nor have I seen UFOs, aliens, and other imaginary things, like human-caused global warming.

Gravity is not science; it is natural law. So are sunset, sunrise, wind, rain, some fire, and the tides. Science is supposition and theory, like evolution and human-caused global warming. When people thought that the world was flat, and the sun circled the earth, that was science.

Speaking of science, the latest theory is that obesity is the major cause of cancer. Boy, am I glad I have given up prune whip, which is loaded with calories, for Lent every year.
