around the trampoline and the physical education teacher would carefully monitor the one student assigned to the trampoline.

During the winter of this year, I acquired a sinus infection. To alleviate the symptoms of this infection, one purchased nasal sprays and an “over the counter” remedy to dry the sinus cavities in the head. After months of using the above remedies, one was still not cured of this infection. I decided then to forego using the sinus drying pills and nasal sprays resulting in the illness cured within a week after abstaining from the use of these drugs.

A high school administrator, who had one duty of assigning after school detention to the wayward enrolled, had a child who attended high school. This teenager was occasionally part of my circle of friends. This student was constantly attacked by some of those students who were not following school rules and assigned detention by the teenager’s father. At home, I stated to mother that the harassed and incessantly attacked student should not be attending the school where the father was employed in one aspect of the job, as a detention official. The student died shortly after high school of a substance abuse problem.

In senior year, I was enrolled in an ecology course. The teacher was professional and knowledgeable about this subject area. He provided students with information regarding ecosystems and the importance of maintaining the natural balance of the environment. The teacher reaffirmed to us that pollution was a serious threat to living creatures and needed to be reduced for the well being of all. An assignment that I thought was unusual and odd was delivered to the class for completion within a specified time period. The assignment was to seek out and procure a soil sample known or thought to be polluted that lacked the nutrients for plant growth. After a few days of thinking about where one might find soil of this nature, I concluded that no soil like this existed in the area. After further careful thinking however, one realized that plants do not grow in gravel. So, through travelling to a local granite rock quarry, I obtained two scoops of pulverized stone resembling the consistency of course soil. Two students brought in soil that was heavily soaked with gasoline leading to a foul odor and noxious fumes emitted into the classroom. Other students stated that their soil samples were obtained at known polluted sites in the area. In school, seeds were planted in all the soil samples procured by students.  The outcome of this experiment was that plants grew in all the soil samples except for the soil soaked with gasoline and the sample I procured of pulverized rock. So one could surmise and perhaps conclude that unless circumstances are extreme, plant growth does occur even in polluted soil.  Students were also invited to participate in an excursion on a weekend day to a cranberry bog, where we walked on spongy sphagnum moss wearing tall boots. We also visited an interesting area of New Jersey where primitive and prehistoric plants such as the Venus flytrap still grew.

Retrospective: In an evil society, people who are well versed in many subject areas are often attacked by others. The personal computer has likely eliminated some of the fraud and corruption associated with personal patent and copyright infringements by providing dated documentation of work. The requiring of receipts for all merchandise returns would eliminate fraud. The work of evil is apparent with the
