"carrying the Fire"
The phrase "carrying the fire" represents morality and being a good guy. When the boy asks the man at the end of the book if he is carrying the fire, he also asks him if he eats people in the same line of questioning. This shows that the term "carrying the fire" is related to not eating people, thus relating to morality.

Sports opinion post
Randy Moss is one of the best things that has happenned to the Vikings in a while. I guess the reverse is true as well. Moss joining the Vikings really is a win-win situation.
Moss was pretty unhappy about is Patriots contract. He was quoted saying "...it kind of feels like I am not wanted.", and he as been playing worse because of it. But, since Moss is coming to the Vikings, he can get paid his desired amount. That's one happy camper.
Since Sidney Rice is out of commision due to a hip surgury, Favre's potential is being wasted. They simply don't have a reciever who can keep up with him. Seeing as Moss and Favre have always wanted to play together, it makes sense to bring him in. Now the Vikings' QB is satisfied.
But Favre won't be happy forever. He will be forced to retire sooner or later. This makes the Vikings desperate. They need the championship this year, and with the help of Moss, they can get it. Now the whole team is happy.
Of course, there is no such thing as a happy ending in football, so who will get mad first?

School uniforms.
Thousands of schools in the U.S. are still using hard-earned money to make students' lives miserable. Thousands of schools are still forcing school uniforms apon kids.
There is a part of the Constitution that lists many rights that every American has. Implied among these is the freedom to wear whatever the heck we want. I'm not saying that it's O.K. to walk around with offensive writings on your chest, but there is a huge space between banning hate messages on apparel and forcing evey student to buy ugly and uncomfortable clothes that must be worn every day. But sadly, not every school knows about that space.
I can think of many senarios where uniforms could be extremely inconvenient. For example, If a kid who lives a distance from his or her school wants to go skiing at a local hill 30 minutes after the bell, that kid will either have to deal with the discomfort of a botton-down shirt pressing against their chest, or will have to go mug some hobo and steal his rag-clothes, which, sadly, will probably work better for snow sports.
So, if you want to go T.P. the houses of those school board members who still enforce this rediculous dress-code, I could use your help!
This is a joke. seriously.
