I'll have to take the subject up with your mom, then. On the surface, at least, almost everything that squirrels do (from their manual dexterity to their nest building and food storage) suggests that they operate on a higher plane tha

Except the all-pervasive surveillance system used to enforce these "moral standards" on teachers was not only non-existent before 2008 or so -- but (up through the 90s) basically unthinkable. "Thinkable" in science ficti
