Traveling Welcome Wagon
Don't forget it wasn't just bibles, but a variety of religious books covering several religions. I didn't like that the adults (through the use of the "old" diary) forced the issue of religion on them. I am glad though, that after the big blow-up at the town meeting, the kids finally settled down and were able to talk about it.Religion certainly is a touchy subject and it was really nice of the whole group to decide on the bibles instead of the mini golf course.
Taylor definitely needs to be told off. I have a feeling that when they hold the elections next week, she will be off the council.
I also think that now may be the time to bring John Smith's advice, from the founding of Jamestown, into play: If you don't work, you don't eat. Taylor and a few others are getting away with not doing anything because so far there are no consequences. I have a feeling that will change.
