    I think he should be fired.
  • ryan p on 17 Mar 11
     
    No i do not think that the superintendent should still remain a member. He broke a law and in school they tell that drugs are bad and you shouldn't do them, but he does them and got caught. If he stays a member the kids might get the idea that drugs are okay to do.
  • luke h on 17 Mar 11
     
    No I do not think that he should be because thats harming the students and if you do that then there just has to be something wrong with that person. Get that person out of there fire him.
  • Joe Derr on 17 Mar 11
     
    Like Ryan said he should be fired, he broke the law and thats the end of the line for him it would'nt be right for him to stay on the school board and be making decisions for students.
  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    I don't think that it's okay that he's still a member of the school board. He's setting a bad example for not only the students, but the community.
  • john c. on 17 Mar 11
     
    No, he should definitely not be. It's cocaine. It's a serious drug.
  • Lucas K on 17 Mar 11
     
    I do not think he should be fired. Although cocaine is a harder drug then most others, the man never had any or caused any problems since he has been part of the school board. I think it's in his best interest to resign only because he has made a name for himself already and it will be hard to prove to kids in his school that he's drug free.
  • Kristen D. on 17 Mar 11
     
    I think that this guy should be fired. He is suppose to be a role model to the students and is on drugs? This is totally unacceptable. If I had a kid that went to that school I would be very afraid. Drugs are nothing to play with at the day in age and if your taking them you should not be around kids.
  • brittany v on 22 Mar 11
     
    I think he should have been fired also because no one should be doing drugs. Since he worked for a school he should of definetly been against it but he wasnt. If you want to do drugs it is your own fault for risking your job.
  • Stephanie A on 23 Mar 11
     
    He should not be aloud around the school and he should be kicked of the school borad for selling drugs....we need to get drugsd of the streets and now adults are giveing them to kids to use or even sell . that is not right

    I agree with Tyler. It's horrible that people will do anything just for money. Taking money from a donation jar is really inconsiderate, and not to mention, illegal.

    Thats so terrible to steal a donation jar of 20 dollars. Its terrible how low people go just for some money.

    This is sad. That money could have been used to make a difference in someone sick and now it's being used for something not nearly important. People are just so inconsiderate.
  • brittany v on 22 Mar 11
     
    That is just a shame how people could go and steal things, and to go and steal money that is for someone with cancer yet. I dont think some people have feelings. It is just wrong and uncaring to do something like that.

    People say what happened in Japan isn't natural, yet its nothing but natural. What do you think when the Mammoths roamed the earth and the ice age happened. There was nothing they could do, and that leads me to the earthquake in Japan. Yes, it was high for normal numbers these days but the worlds axis rotating which is natural.
  • Kristen D. on 17 Mar 11
     
    I think its awesome to see how countries come together at a time like this. This should make the United States feel better about themselves also. By helping others, it will give us a good impact and if we are in need of help someone will be there for us.
  • Suzie Nestico on 21 Mar 11
     
    Absolutely, Kristen. It is very devastating, too, and unfortunate. Most people don't realize that it is in every country's best interest to do so. In this day and age, our economies are much more interdependent and like throwing a pebble into the pond, there will be some ripple effects that will surface within our own economy as a result of the Japanese events.

  • Dominic W. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This is a ban that is much needed. So many people are abusing things like this and it really needs to stop. People who continue to abuse this should be punished to the full extent.
  • brett V. on 17 Mar 11
     
    It is about time somebody does something about this ridiculous stuff that people are consuming into there body. People could really make a drug out of anything ya know what i mean?
  • James K on 17 Mar 11
     
    Mount Carmel Township will be the first township with an ordinance banning synthetic marijuana. But what does this matter? No matter what they ban, there's always going to be the nest new thing out. People will keep finding ways to get around the bans, and the new laws. Its essentially pointless for all this to be happening. even though i do agree that the "fake pot" is a bad idea

    Interesting article, Ryan. I hadn't heard about this before. When tagging, common words like "lady" aren't always the best choice as they are too general. Better tags from a folksonomy standpoint may have been HIV, Chile's, needle, food, etc.
  • john c. on 17 Mar 11

  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    People need to be more careful when preparing food. Swallowing the needle could of caused problems and injured the woman. There shouldn't be a needle in a kitchen in the first place.
  • kayleen k. on 17 Mar 11
     
    This makes you want to think twice before going to eat out at a restraunt. She will most likely win her case against Chilies. There is no excuse for a needle being in food.

    If i ever found a needle in my food i would sue them also. Yea she could have got HIV from it or another disease, but what is she swallowed it.
  • mikael h on 17 Mar 11
     
    I wonder if the lady put the needle in her food and then just said that it was in there. She really doesn't have any proof that they put it in there. Also, Chilies doesn't use needles in any way to prepare their food so why would it be in their.

    The morality of human nature can never be settled as eternally good or bad, but always unpredictable. There's ones who create inventions, cure diseases, and build nations, yet you can't balance life without having negatives. Its a shame what happens to innocent victims these days, but we can't control human emotion/consciousness. All we can do is protect who and what we know, but learn from the mistakes of our brothers and sisters for we can do better.
