...tour of the Minneapolis, Minn., riverfront and such historic landmarks as the Stone Arch Bridge and the Mill City Museum can take a lot of time and shoe leather. But Bill and Emily Neuenschwander's tours can guide you through much of the city's history quickly, with a nod to the future: the mode of transportation is the Segway Human Transporter. The Neuenschwanders started offering tours via the scooter-like device this spring as a sideline to their computer-consulting business.

...those are dirty words. The article caught the eye of a VNN reader identified only as “Arch.” He wrote to VNN’s editor, bemoaning Carey’s fate and using her and other liberal home-schooled students as a prime reason for why home schooling should be abolished. His argument was that the children of these families receive “no diversity training or social conditioning to the Jew’s [sic] world order” at home, and so when they go to college, just aren?...
