Please choose one rule and explain why you think that rule will be important in your post-high school life.

All the rules are true and should all be taught to students. Rule 11: Be nice to nerds, chances are you'll end up working for one, is definitely be important in post-high school life. This rule is referring to those kids in class who are always quiet, but they get all A's and do all their homework. Usually these are the kids who get picked on or have a very little social life. How ever they are the ones who accomplish everything in life and start their own companies, becoming very powerful, rich, and successful. Chances are if someone bullied a nerd, who later on became a multi-millionaire of his own company, that same bully comes to the nerd looking for a job. The bully better hope the former nerd is either A, very forgiving and put the bad times in the past, or B, doesn't recognize him or remember anything that bully ever did to him. If the nerd is neither than the former bully has no chance. In other words be nice to nerds, because they will most likely be the ones signing your pay-check in the future.

Do you think the U.S. needs to address its gun control laws?  Why or why not? How can they be improved or why are they ok just the way they are?

   Yes the U.S. needs to address its gun control laws, because clearly guns have been causing a lot of problems for us lately. The gun control laws should be more strict so guys like the one in Connecticut, don't go around shooting little kids or other people. If people are carrying guns around even when they aren't suppose to it's pretty obvious that the law isn't working and they need to step it up a notch so people know that we are serious about this.

Do you think this software should be legal?  Why or why not?


No this software should not be legal, because for one thing it's creepy and stalkerish. Another reason is that you can record text messages, call log, physical locations and visits to website and that is violating someones privacy. They have no rights to look through others stuff unless they have a search warrant that was ok'd by a judge. This software's going to get people in to a lot of trouble and should definitely not be legal.

     In The Adventure of the Crooked Man, Holmes and Watson are discussing the murder of Colonel James Barclay. It was said that his wife and he were having an argument in the morning-room, but the maids and coachman had no clue what had happened because the door was locked. The coachman had the idea of running across the lawn and climbed through the open window, only to find his master dead, Mrs. Barclay had fainted and the key was gone. The only logical explanation the police can come up with is that Mrs. Barclay had murdered her husband by hitting him with something in the head.
     After searching the crime scene, Holmes concluded that there was a third person involved, who had climbed through the window. The third person had a pet, that's paw prints could not be identified. Since neither Mrs or Mr. Barclay had the key to the door, that meant the third person had taken it when they had escaped.
     Holmes later interrogated Miss. Morrison, who had been out with Mrs. Barclay before the murder. Miss. Morrison told Holmes that Mrs. Barclay and her had been passing through Hudson street when they met a crippled man with a box, who Mrs. Barclay knew and had thought been dead for a long time. They had stepped aside to talk and Miss. Morrison said that the man was angry as Mrs. Barclay left him and that Mrs. Barclay had told Miss. Morrison not to tell anyone of what happened.
     The man who Mrs. Barclay had talked to was Henry Wood and Holmes claimed that he had followed Mrs. Barclay home after she left him and when he was watching Mr. Barclay and Mrs. Barclay through their window, what ever was in his box got loose, explaining the paw prints and why the key went missing.
     The next day, Holmes and Watson go down to Hudson street to talk to Henry. After hearing Mrs. Barclay is being tried for murder, Henry confessed to being responsible for Mr. Barclay's death. He told them that he had once been Colonel Henry Wood the smartest man in the One Hundred and Seventeenth foot in Bhurtee, India. Mr. Barclay and Henry had both loved Mrs. Barclay, but Mrs. Barclay had only loved Henry, how ever her father wanted her to marry Mr. Barclay. They were stuck in Bhurtee and Henry volunteered to inform General Neill about the problem, but he was betrayed by Colonel Barclay and captured by the enemies.
     Henry admitted to following Mrs. Barclay home, saw her arguing with Mr. Barclay and broke in, influenced by his feelings. The sight of Henry, was such a shock to Mr. Barclay and he died of apoplexy, hitting his head against the table as he fell. Mrs. Barclay fainted and Henry took the key, intending to unlock the door, but ran when he heard noises, afraid he'd be accused of murder. The paw prints belong to Henry's mongoose, Teddy, who had slipped out of his box. Henry was not guilty for killing Mr. Barclay, Holmes said it was basically said it was his way of getting back at Mr Barclay for betraying him.
     

Do you think Michael should be allowed to live in the manner which he has chosen?  Why or why not?


     I think Michael should be able to live like he is. It's not bothering anyone and he's not breaking any laws, so I don't see why he shouldn't. So yeah he should just keep doing what he's doing and live the way he wants to.
