That's great. I've found that in certain cases one subtle way to improve your argument is to, subtly of course, make the judge wonder what it would be like if the practice in question were applied to him or her. Your article made me wish I could pass a state law requiring that all legislators and all state employees making more than $50,000 per year have their computer usage monitored to the maximum extent permitted by law for any employees in the state. That would change state law in a hurry!

Lots of odd stuff in the news today. For those of you who are interested in sex ed for kids and the development of their brains, here's a precocious kid. Tucson, Arizona Monday, 13 August 2001 8-year-old girl is just fine as aunt's childbirth coach THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Lori Sheidler's childbirth coach had to be driven to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center by her mom. She brought Floppy the stuffed toy bunny, a box of Popsicles and her own blanket. Eight-year-old Bailey Bagwell coached her Aunt Lori through 11 hours of labor, using breathing techniques, massage and encouraging words she learned in a month's worth of childbirth classes. "A child childbirth coach, I have not seen that before," said John Elliot of Phoenix Perinatal Associates, who has delivered babies for 30 years. He delivered Sheidler's baby recently, an 8-pound, 9-ounce, 19-inch-long girl. Bailey has talked and sung to her new cousin since she was conceived, whispering against Sheidler's ever-growing belly. The baby quiets quickly in her arms. Bailey's Uncle Jeff, Sheidler's husband and the new father, admitted months ago that he wasn't brave enough to be in the delivery room. So Sheidler's sisters, Lana Bass and Lyn Bagwell, who is Bailey's mother, volunteered for duty. But it was Bailey who made it to every childbirth class, earning a certificate, and also took a baby care class with Sheidler. In the end, Jeff Sheidler stayed in the birthing room and was the first to hold his daughter. Bailey was third. After the delivery, Bailey cried, though not because she was scared. She said: "I was just so happy. It was tears of love." azstarnet.com
