Badges?! We don't need no stinkin' badges?!

OK, let's see if I have this right.

The Dover Area School District wants to issue its students identification badges, and some people are going nuts because they think that the barcodes used on them are, as board member Heather Geesey said, the mark of the beast, as in Revelations in the Bible.

So, if you're keeping score at home, the previous school board tried to insert biblical principles to biology instruction and the current school board is doing the work of Satan. Who would have guessed that the Dover Area School District would be in league with the antichrist and would be instrumental in bringing about Armageddon.

Next up for Dover? Plague of locusts, I'm guessing.

I guess that's what you get for building the school on top of a Hellmouth.

Well, that's what Central did, and now it's all 1984-ish there.

Great commentary Mike! What say you about a little school problem closer to your office .... like recurring food fights at Hanna Penn by the "inner city intelligentsia" ?

Actually, Nathan, as a student at Central, who wears ID badges every day, I find it to be quite unlike anything in 1984, and perfectly normal. We hardly notice they are there. So, before you assume, you'd better check your facts, or even remotely know what you're talking about.

Hmmm wouldn't the mark of the beast actually mean they have to tattoo you with the bar code someplace on your body.
Mike you're an idiot even though you probably enjoy everytime someone calls you that.
Go let your dog pee on someones house like the good ol days.
