I had a Fraternity Brother from Atlanta ehose mother is a total clean freak, germaphobe, etc. and he is constantly getting sick.

Me, not so much, and I'm a total farm kid. Drove a tractor to school once or twice.

I've always found it interesting that schools seem to get more violent when zero tolerance policies are enacted in regards to pyhsical altercations.

I always thought that by letting boys fight it out, they learn how to deal with things better. But that's probably old fashion and violent.
