Success after the age of 40. I need help. I am writing an article about people who have attained their real success after the age of 40. These days we are always hearing of the wunderkind who starts an Internet company and makes zillions by the time he's 12 years old (or 25). Michael Dell, Shawn Fanning (well almost), Bill Gates and other techies/entrepreneurs all made millions by the time they were 25. We all love these rags-to-riches stories, and this seems to foster the belief that if you haven't done it by 40, you never will. I am writing...

In the primary election in Ohio yesterday, 2-May-2006, the voters took the one unspinnable poll. Conservatives in the state have complained for years of the policies of incumbent U.S. Senator Mike Dewine.

I don't know why a Freeper would be sending a message like this thru Freepmail, but since there was no way to report the abuse, I thought I'd just do it on a thread and let the moderators decide what to do. Here is the message: Madam Abigel Kabila From abi000 | 06/02/2005 9:24:49 AM EDT replied Madam Abigel Kabila Tel:225 05-80-59-64 Introduction. My Dear, It is my pleasure to contact you...

Earlier this week 50-100 students participated in a senior prank at Heritage High School (Colorado)...the "prank" involved throwing flour while running disruptively through the "freshmen" hallway...this has apparently been a long standing tradition at that school for many years...from first hand accounts, previous students have done the same thing and suffered little or no consequences...the new principal at this school has had enough of this "tradition"...several senior students were suspended for a few days (right before graduation)...what is worse, in my opinion, is that the Littleton (Colorado) Police Department was called in by the school to issue tickets to these...
