There's a new study out (isn't there always) about road rage.  Seems that people with bumper stickers are more likely to commit such acts of aggession.

Sounds like a bit of a stretch to me, but I did enjoy this tidbit:

"What's more, only the number of bumper stickers, and not their content, predicted road rage — so 'Jesus saves' may be just as worrying to fellow drivers as 'Don't mess with Texas'."

Any thoughts on this?  I don't have any bumper stickers, save a logo from my alma mater.  But I'm willing to betyou've seen examples from both extremes.

Hillsborough County schools plan to confiscate any students' cell phones they see next year.  The idea is that phones can come to school but must stay out of sight.

What do you think about this?  Too harsh?  Should students be trusted with their phones?  Or should they be banned altogether?

OK, we have decided to open up the 'Faith' category of the blogs.  If the faith discourse can be as interesting as the other discussion on this site, then I think it will make for a lively board.

All we ask is that you treat your fellow bloggers with respect...

OK, there are a few lingering issues but I think we should pretty much be back to normal in terms of login functionality and moderation.  Please report any outstanding issues that pop up.

Thanks to all of your for your patience.  Hopefully you won't be hearing anything else from me for a while!
