PS: can i borrow your car? um, thats real interesting, chet. quite a stretch, even for a feeding tube such as yourself. granted, the liberal left is also full of your fellow feeding tubes, but most non-feeding tubes who go to a real protest expect some level of antagonism with police. thats how it is. but just because you expect a conflict to include some degree of violence or other coercive aggressive, doesnt mean that you have to be OK with it when it happens.

I appreciate the sound advice. Of course, an undergrad like myself with a part time job on campus is destined to be stuck working at the University all his life? This story is just as absurd and laughingly grotesque as it is alarming. Lighten up and have a sense of humor. Thanks Chet. I appreciate the sound advice.
