The weakened economy has affected many segments of society, and a new survey suggests that it may have taken a bite out of the Tooth Fairy as well.
In the Original Tooth Fairy Poll conducted annually by Delta Dental, 1,355 parents across the country said the average amount left for a tooth is $2.10, down from $2.52 in 2010, according to the survey.

They Thought They Were Free: the Germans, 1933-45 by Milton Sanford Mayer
They [the Germans] hate Communism--under that name--but they do not love what we call liberty enough to die for it. If they did, they would have died for it against Hitler.
How much do you love liberty? Do you love it enough to die for it?

I received this in an email from Missouri Family Network:
Religious Freedom Rally
On Tuesday, March 27, 2012, Missouri Family Network, several organizations and religious leaders, including the Missouri Baptist Convention, Missouri Catholic Conference, and other religious denominations and pro-life advocacy groups, including Missouri Right to Life, Americans United for Life, and others, will sponsor a legislative action day and rally to protest the new mandate of the US Department of Health and Human Services that forces employers, including religious institutions to provide coverage for abortion drugs, sterilization and contraceptives. We will call on Congress to pass S. 1467, sponsored by Sen. Roy Blunt and H.R. 1179 cosponsored by U.S. Representatives Todd Akin, Vicky Hartzler, Sam Graves, Billy Long and Blaine Luetkemeyer.
The rally will also support the passage of the Missouri State Legislation, SB 749 which is sponsored by State Senator John Lamping. This bill would prohibit the government from forcing religious institutions to offer health coverage for abortion drugs, sterilization or contraceptives. It would also make sure that individuals do not have to buy health plans that cover such items. (Current State law bans abortion coverage except as an individually purchased rider to a health care plan.)
Join Us on Tuesday, March 27th to Rally for Religious Freedom! Wear Red For Life!

I got a message from Twitter saying that I had one LOST direct message and to click on the link to retrieve my message. I think this has got to be a hoax. Has anyone else gotten a message like this?

. . .even now the outside world does not realize how surprised we non-Nazis were in 1933. When mass dictatorship occurred in Russia, and then in Italy, we said to one another, 'That is what happens in backward countries. We are fortunate, for all our troubles, that it cannot happen here.' But it did, worse even than elsewhere, and I think that all the explanations leave some mystery. When I think of it all, I still say, with unbelief, 'Germany--no, not Germany.'
I continue to say with unbelief, "America,--no, not America!"

Children who grow up without religion cannot decide about religion for themselves; that's a fallacy, that people can choose intelligently between what they know and what they don't know.
I'm currently reading They Thought They Were Free: the Germans, 1933-45. The below paragraph shows the effects of a dictatorship and Nazism on the people. It sheds light on what the people were thinking and how they were feeling in their daily lives. They weren't given a list of do's and don'ts or a handbook of rules and regulations. Instead, they were intimidated into being overly cautious. Imagine feeling as if you're walking on eggshells 24/7.
The remarks below are from a German high school teacher who was asked if Julius Caesar's works were banned in the schools.
Not that I remember. But that is not the way it was. Everything was not regulated specifically, ever. It was not like that at all. Choices were left to the teacher's discretion, within the 'German spirit.' That was all that was necessary; the teacher had only to be discreet. It he himself wondered at all whether anyone would object to a given book, he would be wise not to use it. This was a much more powerful form of intimidation, you see, than any fixed list of acceptable or unacceptable writings. The way it was done was, from the point of view of the regime, remarkably clever and effective. The teacher had to make the choices and risk the consequences; this made him all the more cautious.

I made a trip to the library last week. It had been a while since I had actually been inside. I actually use the library quite a bit; but with today's technology, I can reserve whatever I need and let Dh pick it up for me. That has been my habit for quite some time.
Well, I was in for a surprise. First of all, the holds have been placed in a public area so that you can simply go in and pick them up without asking for them. Second of all, they now have self checkout--just like at the store.
Once I picked my items up, I decided to give the self checkout a whirl. The first time, the librarian helped me with it. Then, Cinderella decided she needed a few more books, so I got to go solo.
It's simple enough, but there's a lot of button pushing on a touch screen just to check out a few books. First, you have to push a button to tell the computer that you want to check out a book. Then, you scan your card. Then, you have to input your password and push the "next" button. Once you scan your books, you have to push the "next" button again. Then it asks you if you want a printed receipt or email receipt, then the "next" button again. Like I said, there's lots of button pushing involved.
Beings that the library is a public place, and one that children love; all I could think about was how many snotty-nosed, buger-picking kids had touched the screen before I had. Don't get me wrong, I think the self checkout is a good thing. I only question the cleanliness of a touch screen used by hundreds of people a day. I realize that my head is probably going overboard on this one. I'm sure I'll use the self checkout again if I have the opportunity. And, that little voice in the back of my head will be saying, "Is this sanitary?"
