life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

Re: 4th grader suspended for taking the One Ring to school
Yeah. I heard this on the radio this morning. He was also suspended previously for bringing in the "Big Book of Knowledge" because a section taught about pregnancy and had an illustration of a pregnant woman. Me thinks Texas school are messed up.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: 4th grader suspended for taking the One Ring to school
This one even made it into the Danish new papers (I suppose it was the daily dose of 'stupid things Americans do') and my colleagues and I just stared baffled at the screen, I mean 'Really, Texas?'

Re: 4th grader suspended for taking the One Ring to school
The child was suspended because threats, magical and otherwise, are not tolerated according to the principal. He was suspended twice afore for referring to another student's skin colour and bringing with him to school a book about pregnancy. Ooooh!
This can happen in any region or state where the school system has a zero tolerance policy.Comment

Re: 4th grader suspended for taking the One Ring to school
He did not bring a book about pregnancy. He brought a book called the Book of Knowledge, which contained a section on pregnancy and an illustration of a pregnant woman. He brought it to show the section on the solar system because that was what they were studying at the time.Originally posted by Vel View PostWe are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't think that staff misunderstanding that the One Ring makes someone invisible counts as a magical threat.Originally posted by Vel View PostComment
