BRUNSWICK COUNTY -- The mother of a Brunswick County 16-year-old who married her High School Coach is speaking out.
Betty Hager says she tried to stop the relationship between her daughter and a 40-year-old teacher at South Brunswick High School, including contacting local law enforcement and the school. (View the full interview here)
Hager has a paper trail documenting all the conversations she's had with different agencies in Brunswick County. She says it somehow wasn't enough, to stop her daughter, Windy, from marrying a teacher more than twice her age

Greatest short story of all time. The Quiet Man

Shawn Kelvin, a blithe young lad of 20, went to the States to seek his fortune. And 15 years thereafter he returned to his native Kerry, his blitheness sobered and his youth dried to the core, and whether he had made his fortune or whether he had not no one could be knowing for certain. For he was a quiet man, not given to talking about himself and the things he had done. A quiet man, under middle size, with strong shoulders and deep-set blue eyes below brows darker than his dark hair - that was Shawn Kelvin. One shoulder had a trick of hunching slightly higher than the other, and some folks said that it came from a habit he had of shielding his eyes in the glare of an open-hearth furnace in a place called Pittsburgh, while others said it used to be a way he had of guarding his chin that time he was a sort of sparring-partner punching bag at a boxing camp.
Shawn Kelvin came home and found that he was the last of the Kelvin's, and that the farm of his forefathers had added its few acres to the ranch of Big Liam O'Grady, of Moyvalla. Shawn took no action to recover his land, though O'Grady had got it meanly. He had had enough of fighting, and all he wanted now was peace. He quietly went amongst the old and kindly friends and quietly looked about him for the place and peace he wanted; and when the time came, quietly produced the money for a neat, handy, small farm on the first warm shoulder of Knockanore Hill below the rolling curves of heather. It was not a big place but it was in good heart, and it got all the sun that was going; and, best of all, it suited Shawn to the tiptop notch of contentment; for it held the peace that tuned to his quietness, and it commanded the widest view in all Ireland; vale and mountain and the lifting green plain of the Atlantic Sea.

Robert Blake the Great american poet

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Nihlism growing in oujr society

The Plague of Nihilism
Once an atheist was demeaning a Christian for his belief system and world view. The atheist, a sophisticated egotist, looked down his nose at the Christian and said, “I thought you would be too smart to believe in fairy tales and to grovel before an imaginary God.” Though unfortunate that is the attitude of many people toward believers, especially the elite in the fields of academia and the social sciences. So, from where does this condescending and often antagonistic attitude come? Is it the influence of the late Madelyn Murray O’Hare and her atheist organization as they worked to get God thrown out of government schools? What about rock music and its lyrics about suicide and desperation? Is this where such a world view came from? Actually, no. Though atheism, rock music and other expressions of godlessness are all part of the big picture, these are simply spin-offs from a hellish philosophy called nihilism; a world view that is growing like a malignant cancer and, in the process, destroying everyone who becomes immersed in it. The insanity of it all is that this is being trumpeted all around us, but we are generally unable to recognize it for the threat it is.

Edwards: Americans should sacrifice their SUVs

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards told a labor group Tuesday that he would ask Americans to make a big sacrifice: their sport utility vehicles.

Former Sen. John Edwards says the nation needs to focus on being a leader in creating alternative energy.

"I think Americans are actually willing to sacrifice," Edwards said during a forum held by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. "One of the things they should be asked to do is drive more fuel efficient vehicles."
The former North Carolina senator was asked specifically if he would tell them to give up their SUVS. He said, "Yes."

same thing goes for american kids why are we apathetic?


A NUMBER of political parties would like to claim generation Y - Australians born in the early 1980s, now in their late teens and early 20s - as their own. But discussion about the political outlook of gen Y rarely reaches beyond conclusions of "apathy" and "conservatism".
There are some basic truths about generation Y's attitude to politics: they are turned off, annoyed by and distrustful of political parties, politicians and increasingly the media that is supposed to keep them honest. Few see mainstream politics as a useful vehicle for changing the world. But they do care about political issues.
