Leave it to you to be a cynical ass.
What these kids did was awesome and showed they weren't going to stand for this bullshit in their town! That in and of itself is a noble victory.
I am a pro-cell phone person. In college, if you don't constantly have your cell phone on you, you miss out on a lot of stuff. Plus it's my primary means of communication so I'm constantly using, checking, talking, texting, or checking to see if I got a text on it. I carry it around with me religiously and when I forget it, I always have to go back and get it. Don't want to miss out on anything.
Uno's has amazing pizza. Especially their deep dish bacon cheeseburger pizza! Yummmm. Although I felt like I was gonna have a heart attack every time I ate it.
Ok, this is getting a little off topic. But does anyone else think that homeschooling is the worst thing you do to a kid. I mean, isolating them from reality and different ideas and the real world. Especially socially. Come on people, the world is a scary place and they're gonna have to face it sometime. It's much better they learn to deal with it at a younger age instead of being thrust into it when they're 18 and off to college.
I may not always agree with you sometimes, but I admire a boatload how you stick to your opinions no matter how much you get bashed, negged or insulted for them.
