30. My son

is eleven and just started 6th grade. The other day he came home and proceeded to tell me all about what he had learned in school
that day -- depleted uranium and it's long-term effects on people and the planet.

I was floored! I knew about DU (not much, but I was aware), but I never expected this! He told me about what * is doing to our troops, the Iraqis, anyone who comes in contact with this dust as it is blown about the planet, and the ecological effects.

To make this even more astounding to me: we live in TEXAS!

What a great teacher! What a brave teacher. :headbang:
