I haven't seen any papers on the impact of cell phone removal and the
return of kids to ordinary behavior. Sounds like a great idea for a
fully funded study.

I'm in favor of promoting youth baseball.

We have a friend whose 22-year-old son is finishing up college. Decent
looking boy, not stupid, doesn't date and has never gotten laid. We're
very worried about him. Seriously.


What worries you? That he might be gay?
