    Connecticut elementary school massacre

    Something like this is gut wrenching. We need to go back in history and find out what happened around the time these massacres began. Something had to change in society and we need to find out what it was.

    Inheritance

    My aunt died and left me part of her estate. It took almost a year for it to close and part of that time, it was at the state government for one reason or another. It's even worse if an heir challenges the will.

    Wiki needs some help

    My wife uses Wikipedia quite a bit. They seem to have fairly high standards for accuracy. That isn't to say that I would totally rely on the accuracy, but I think it is more accurate than most people think.

    Cousin asking for raise

    I think I would be thankful to have a job and not approach the subject. There are probably hundreds of people who would love to have his job no matter what it pays. An employer can almost always find a "reason" to fire an employee if they want. I would not chance losing my job.
