Thankfully there was an outlet - Shades finds preachers daughters want to explore all his knowledge he learned in europe and on the islands - hehe. Things the bible not tell them too much about. I say let me show you what the sin is, so you make sure to never do it again - hehe - they keep wanting to sin - good thing thier god a forgiving one. Over the years el mat drugs take on more and more part of that life in the states - here KM celebrating girls overdosing on heroin - the american way eh?

Plano is also the place where all the yuppie spawn offed themselves on heroin a few years back. Must be hell when you can't compete with Muffy in her Hummer and Louis Vuitton bag. No reason to live.

There is tremendous pressure here to consume.

Nice cars, big allowances, fancy pedicures: In Collin County, parents say the urge to spend stems from their children

03:17 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 16, 2005

By PAULA LAVIGNE / The Dallas Morning News

It's the end of the day at Plano West Senior High School, and teenagers are pouring into the parking lot.

Senior Jodi Payson drives a black Hummer H2. She carries a Louis Vuitton purse and a credit card with no limit.

Last year, Jodi was among the privileged class at Plano West that sets the unspoken benchmark that many other students – and therefore their parents – strive to attain.

Plano West stands out for its students' affluence and their academic achievements, but it is as representative as any Collin County school in that parents say they feel pressure, from their children and their surroundings, to meet the highest lifestyle standards.

I'll see if I can get routed through there on my next trip to Europe :)

Only place in former Eastern Europe I've been to is SW corner of East Germany...

Amsterdam is a useful hub airport to get me between US, Israel, Sweden and then there was this meeting in Groningen.
