      I fail to understand the goal of putting Google out of business just because they can. I like Google and I like having a choice.

Strip clubs, marijuana eyed during budget crunch - CNN.com - 0 views

  • One of the more controversial ideas is to legalize the sale of marijuana, as proposed in a bill introduced in California's state legislature by Democratic State Assemblyman Tom Ammiano this year. The bill proposed taxing pot by $50 per ounce. If legalized, marijuana could become California's No. 1 cash crop, bringing in an estimated $1 billion a year in state taxes.

      I've never understood why Uncle Sam didn't do this years ago. What a great way to increase tax revenue. And, if there is a true concern over marijuana use (gateway drug and all that) what better way to put it out of the reach of kids by increasing the cost?

    Hi Jim,
    I thought I would use Diigo for kids to post links to news articles. Perhaps assign each student a week where he/she is responsible to find a news article about something that has implications for them, post it and comment on it. Other students would then have to read the article, post a comment and reply to at least XX number of other students. They could find video clips, too. Other ideas, anyone?
