That instead of having first lectures of STDs (and other stuff) and then a test about them, they should use discussions or something like that. I didn't mean "try-it-now-yourself" or demonstrations of "hydraulics". Most of the teachers are over 30 here, so a younger, competent teacher gets the message across better. And most of the over 40-year-olds tend to be quite embarassed about sex, and hence the sex ed doesn't really help (as the awkward questions remain unanswered).

What they are actually trading is the right to pollute. When some corporation pollutes less, they can sell some of their quota to somebody else. Kyoto people have turned the whole thing upside down. Works like the supporters think too, but I have difficulties to think that way. Maybe they don't want Kyoto to be associated with the right to pollute.

We have a word, "aasinsilta" or literally translated "donkey's bridge", which we use to describe a desperate attempt to make a transition to another subject. Your segue is like a bridge from Florida to Cuba... ;-) |
