no lice on us

The kids were tested for lice, but there were no lice. With 24 kids positive and who knows how many dozens with nits, we're pretty thankful.

Three reasons to be thankful:

  1. The school's combing the kids for the parasites (no pun intended).

  2. The kids seem to know what to do if they suspect they have lice.

  3. The kids have no lice.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
