The problem in the west is law suits. If New Zeland judges throw out any attempts from parents suing the schools, the fun times can continue. All these rules didn't exist when I was a kid in the '80s... http://thestir.c

It's possible. An open-house at expression.edu and one minute phone call from Pixar while I was driving to my old job changed mine (long story) ...and no, I didn't get the job. I don't even work in the computer-graphics fiel

Think of it this way, you create a bunch of purple 20 dollar bills and convince most(51%) of the population that your purple bills are the only legit ones. So people begin transactions with only the purple bills and green bills are worth
