["DarkSide oftheMoon" Subject: [support-system] opt-out of mil. Greetings -- You may not know it, but under a little known provision of No Child Left Behind, public high schools must hand over personal information about students -- including minors -- to local military recruiters. I think it's a real invasion of family privacy. The good news is, parents can get their kids off this list by submitting a request in writing to their school district superintendent. I just found some great information and a useful online tool that makes it easy to "opt out" children from the list high schools are required to release to military recruiters. Just go to http://www.leavemychildalone.org/tellfriends . Not only can you get your own kids off the list, you can help change the law that lets military recruiters prey on our minor children without the parents' explict permission. Hope you find it useful! And tell other people you know about LeaveMyChildAlone.org! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Jun 2005 16:12:23 -0400 From: "DarkSide oftheMoon" Subject: [support-system] what do you mean you don't have these yet? Buy these now! That's an order! Beck - Guero. Call it O'Delay part two. Like a pair of old blue jeans this cd slips on easy. Body moving beats courtesy of the chemical brothers (what chemicals *are* they on?), lyrics that if you or I wrote them would sound stupid (but Beck of course pulls it off) but have you singing in the shower in no time at all, "not-over-production" producing and mixing that will get you through the summer of war. Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up. Another cd that sound familiar upon first listening. Repeated listenings reveal a not so quite busy musical effort form the boys in the band. Still nice though to see him stick some anti-war rhetoric in to keep the stoned masses on the right track. System of a Down - Mezmerize Judas Priest! These guys lay waste to your head with a sonic assault that you *cannot* ignore. Play B.Y.O.B for all your Republican prezident supporting friends and watch them squirm uncomfortably out of the room. Now that RATM is gone, these boys not only pick up the mantle, they tattoo it on your ass. Viva la resistance!

Here are Liz Phair's tour dates: July 26: Boston (Paradise) July 29: Philadelphia (World Cafe) Aug. 1-2: New York (Joe's Pub) Aug. 4: Alexandria, Va.
