Attack on Autistic Boy, 11, Videotaped

I'm having an 'I hate people' day.

Attack On Autistic Boy, 11, Videotaped

The thing that makes me the most angry is that his attackers have only been suspended for one week. One week! Collin was suspended for a day when he was eight because he bit a teacher assistant.

Help someone in need -- and it won't cost you a penny

The short of it is, a woman who has no medical insurance is in need of several brain surgeries. Megaupload will give her $10,000 if she reaches 5 million downloads. She's uploaded a simple, virus-and-malware-free document which explains a little about her situation. Do we know for sure it isn't a hoax? No. But the difference here is she's not asking for money; all anyone has to do to help is download this document. Each IP address can download it once per day. There's nothing to lose but three seconds of your time.

In my thinking, the risk that it could be fake is worth three seconds of my time every day, when there's a chance it could help someone stay alive. cleolinda's post has more details, but if you're willing to click one link, and maybe make a difference for someone, CLICK HERE.

So, I'm tired and a little bummed out, and I really want to watch something completely comforting and loving and reassuring. So naturally, SPN comes to mind. :) Tell me, flist -- what are your favorite "Brothers" moments in Supernatural? What's the first scene you saw where you thought 'wow, these guys really love each other'? Doesn't have to be a whole scene; a look from one to the other will be perfectly acceptable. Thanks. :)
