The question that I would like answered is what are we going to do as a group, as a "geek/nerd" society? Our very culture and way of life is being attacked. Sure highschool is hell and I can't wait to get out. But what about until then? How can we stand back and watch our fellow nerds be singled out for anti-social behaviour or for a love of games, be they role-playing or video? I think it's wrong that the school system is trying to force individuals to fit into the cookie cutter. Be the American dream! Who's dream is it anyway? When it is said on a televised funeral that the "athletes" of a school are the ones to be proud of because they spend their free time on the court or on the field, I think it is time that we look and see that there is something seriously wrong.
