By WG Caddick  WHAT a lovely surprise I had in the post this morning - two vouchers for pounds 5 to be rendered at Argos.   Following a phone call to your officers, I was told that it was because I had taken the Birmingham Mail for some time now.

The British Department for Education and Skills (DfES) recently launched a "Music Manifesto" campaign, with the ostensible intention of educating the next generation of British musicians. Unfortunately, they also teamed up with the music industry (EMI, and various artists) to make this popular. EMI has apparently negotiated their end well, so that children in our schools will now be indoctrinated about the illegality of downloading music.The ignorance and audacity of this got to me a little, so I wrote an open letter to the DfES about it. Unfortunately, it's pedantic, as I suppose you have to be when writing to goverment representatives. But I hope you find it useful, and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar, if or when the same thing has happened in your area.

Robert's Story; the Problem of Poverty in America  Robert is in the third grade. He likes school, and he's pretty good at it. He started reading chapter books this year, and he likes that. He wishes he could go to school today, but he can't. He lives with his mom in their 1985 Mazda GLC. They get in trouble if they  stay in one place for more than a few nights, so he can't take the school bus. This morning Robert's mom can't take him to school. She's too busy. This happens to Robert a lot. It makes him really sad. He remembers when he was in first grade he and his mom lived in an apartment. It wasn't a nice apartment, it kinda smelled funny, the carpet was a weird orange color,  and the people who lived downstairs scared him. He didn't like it there, but now he just wishes they could go back. He doesn't understand why he and his mom have to be poor. One time he asked his mom, and she started crying. He doesn't ask her questions like that anymore.    This is not an uncommon story. In 2003 there were 35.9 million people living below the poverty line in the United States of America, 1.3 million more than in 2002.  In addition, there were millions living within the penumbra that surrounds 'official poverty', with incomes that fell above the poverty line but bellow the threshold for a decent standard of living.
