Protocol is either useful or it should be abolished. - Robert A. Heinlein

I am not much interested in killing strangers. I am not opposed to the death penalty—I voted for it every time the matter came to a vote, which was frequently during the decline and fall of the United States—but in killing pour le sport I need to be emotionally involved. Oh, forced to a choice I would rather shoot a man than a deer; I can’t see the “sport” and shooting a gentle vegetarian that can’t shoot back.
But, given full choice, I would rather watch television than kill a stranger. Some, at least.

""Good stories are rarely true."

I knew that the stupidest students, the silliest professors, and the worst bull courses are concentrated in schools of education.
