That's the worst thing about the whole exchange on the sidewalk. It brought out a bad side in me. I'm a nice person, damnit, and for this lady not to recognize me as such, for her to treat me as if I were rude, is just too much. I swear, I could have strangled her right then and th--never mind. As you can see, the rudeness is still hovering about me, so you'd best try to avoid me for the next couple of days, particularly if I'm speeding along on the sidewalk. Just...
...hope this example provides a flavor of what chickens feel and think. What the students in the Phoenix club have done is inexcusable.

...tough-minded, short-term solutions even as they wait for the results of more complex approaches like better mentoring and earlier intervention for troubled children. It may seem silly to go after a kid whose only crime is manicuring during school hours. But how do you know whom to treat sympathetically at a time when 11-year-olds commit murder? (Now 13, Nathaniel Abraham was convicted last month in Michigan of shooting a stranger in the head.) And how do you decide which kids are just morose and creative--and which ones are plotting to kill...
