To my knowledge, we don't offer military history at my tiny (800 students) liberal arts college. We do, however, offer two different courses on the history of the automobile.

That's a lot of words to say "I want to have sex with a 15-year-old."

I'd take a convicted murderer if it meant they didn't have to stay in a torture prison.

Yeah, they’re just following orders.

And it is sad how many people may be faced with similar dilemmas as things continue to get worse.

In all cases?

I can’t wait for racists to be scared again.

Wow, thank you for disabusing me. If reporters for major papers/tv outlets are making sub $50k (in big cities, no less), I’ve been way off!

Thank you. I guess I was thinking about national tv (something equivalent to writing for WaPo).

Can you shock me, then? I'm genuinely curious, because I guess I'm one of the people on the internet who imagines those at major newspapers and TV outlets make pretty good money. Not "wealthy," I suppose, but solidly upper-middle class (which certainly appears wealthy to many).

No one who has ever witnessed a single faculty meeting could ever again claim that college professors are part of some sort of coordinated conspiracy to accomplish anything, let alone turn the entire US into a Marxist utopia/dystopia with an assist from their great pals in corporate boardrooms.

Murdering fishermen is fine, but now you've been indecorous!

Don't I wish! No trains in the middle of the U.S.

That's fair. My commute has no pedestrian traffic, so I'd be a little peeved if my car was limited to 25 mph. 😀

My commute would be 3 hours each way.

So we should limit cars to 25 mph?
