I'd put the link at the end of the old bar, but it does not want to load up for me, so I hasn't. If Emma or Gee can load it and edit one of their posts for the new bar, I'd appreciate it.

I think teachers are the most underpaid profession on the planet. The ones who really care, doubly so. Law enforcement would be a close second in that category, I think that if they got paid better then people who aren't such douchebags would hold those jobs.
