Scientists never understood exactly how finely tuned elephants’ hearing is, until researchers tried to see if the pachyderms could distinguish among the sounds made by different groups of humans.
This is absolute insanity. We live in an upside down world now where kids can’t be kids because they might end up disciplined for it. Zero tolerance policies do not work, and they aren’t going to prevent that one mentally ill child from bring a weapon to school. If you want less incidents to happen, train the staff to better recognize troubled youth, advocate for setting up process to help these youth and quit punishing kids for being kids out of fear. It’s stupid.

BONUS SONG!!!
This song is pretty self explanatory so I will let the lyrics speak for themselves on this one. No real reason for sharing this other than it just being an absolutely beautiful song both lyrically and musically. Enjoy.
“Never Ending Story”
Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep and
In her light we’ll awake
We’ll all be forgotten
There’s no endless fame
But everything we do
Is never in vain
We’re part of a story, part of a tale
We’re all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it’s going
What is the way?
Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she is also a part
A part of the tale
We’re part of a story, part of a tale
We’re all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it’s going
What is the way?
We’re part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
With all the spying, drones, etc. etc. going on I thought this would be a perfect song. Originally released way back in 1982, this songs lyrics are more relevant than ever……..
“Electric Eye”
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time.
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don’t know I’m there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There’s nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye.
I’m elected electric spy
Protected. Detective. Electric eye.
