No! Violence is WRONG! Punching a Nazi brings you down to their level. By shoving your fist forcefully into their face, you are just as bad as the people whose words and actions made the Holocaust possible. Wars are not won with violence: They are won with firm handshakes, pinky promises and warm hugs.

Dear Santa,
During Thanksgiving break, I was only asked three questions:
“How are your grades this semester?” Please keep in mind that I now attend college — a good one, at that — and not my small, underfunded high school.
