Digg - Why One School Banned LEGOs
Wow. If only teachers thought like this during the regular school day. (They actually only banned the Legos temporarily, then phased them back in.) It’s pretty amazing what Legos teach you, and how much adult stuff kids can stomach. If only they had taught the kids about how communism is idealism and how it only works in small groups with deities (or teachers, in this case) as the rulers. Amazing story though, I’m sure I’ll return to it in my future Psychology studies.

It’s also the Year and Decade of Finding Affordable Solutions to Every Last One of the World Community’s Struggles. Have a good year fighting evil with the UN… and eating potatoes, drinking perfectly clean sewer water, and pooping roses while speaking languages—all on planet earth (because there are so many options and it’s the best one).
