Thumbs up to the number of student bands at FHS. You can’t shake a stick without striking a lead guitarist these days.

Thumbs up to the Iranian law forbidding laughter in public. They should get to the source of the problem and outlaw happiness. We’re not here to have fun — we’re here to pay taxes and make government bureaucrats happy.

Thumbs down to Earth Day. As a newspaper and therefore a huge generator of waste paper, The Arrow is tired of feeling guilty about polluting the planet. What do we care if the Earth is an unlivable pigsty in 50 years? Our advice: consume, consume, consume.

Thumbs down to Slobodan Milosevic for doing his best to plunge the Balkans into war.
