If you're ever feeling down, here's my advice: Go to a playground. Last night, my friend Katy and I were strapped for something to do - we weren't in the mood to go to clubs or bars, but we didn't want to sit at home, either. So, we hit up all the playgrounds in our area. It was SO much fun to go on the swings, down the slides, and on the monkey bars. It feels so good to get back with your inner child.

Uhm, okay, I'm all for D.A.R.E., and everything, but who is really going to believe that D.A.R.E. got someone into the WNBA? Some of these "letters from the future" are pretty bad, not only in their imagination, but also in their GRAMMAR. C'mon. Don't worry - it gets better:
"My name is Kelsey as you may already know because I am a famous actress. I have won many Oscars and now I am thirty-one years old"

How come all the people in these essays are famous?

This just tops the cake: "He handed her a DARE book and said, Yo yo what's up girl?"

And, PLEASE, can we be factually accurate? "She died from cancer, which is a bad disease to catch from smoking" You don't "catch" cancer from smoking. It's not a cold.

I can think of at least ten other ways D.A.R.E. could have done this part of their site, and none of them involve anything near as dumb as what is up there now. I hate to be insulting to a program I actually like, but it's true - there are a lot of ways to keep kids off drugs. Making them laugh at something you take seriously is NOT one of them.

GreaterGood.com shuts down. Been wondering why the HungerSite hasn't been operational recently? That's why. This is pretty sad.
