Seriously folks? Colonizing the moon?!?!? How can #2 not be the most absurd?

I don't know about you, but I'd rather colonize the moon than reinstating child labor.

I agree.  Lunar Colonization is very absurd and it ranks a close second in my polling, but child labor is just that, child labor.  That reminds me too much of sweatshops.  I don't want our schools to become sweatshops.  It is true that our children need to learn housekeeping, but they're main focus at school should be to learn tools that will get them quite far in life.  Housekeeping can only take them so far.  They should be learning such at the home doing chores, not in school taking time out of their day.  Now, I will say, that if a child spills something on the floor they should be required to clean it up as best they can, but shouldn't be required to clean the hallways or the bathrooms that they did not dirty up.
