		<description>This is a very funny piece,  but I think stigmatizing 130kg Samoans as the ultimate in threatening cell-mates is offensive and that you should apologize.</description>

		<description>Perhaps a bit earnest, Penny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we increasingly locate many of our most emotionally and socially needy young into Trevor&#039;s and like schools, why do we at the same time lower to just abourt the middle of the normal range, the level for entering people into teacher preparation programs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And shoiuld we not ask our prospective teachers at all levels to obtain a degree in something intellectually developmental and teachable before choosing teaching? And pay them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trevor - you are a lovely person. Maybe you would have a greater and more noble impact on humankind were you to go to a private school servicing the young of the upward-reaching tradies and traders. Teach them to be less earnest, and enjoy wit.</description>
