C'mon, an academic ought to do much better than that.<BR/><BR/>I suggest that there is nothing as sacred and sexual to the American psyche as an automobile. Drive any interstate highway to confirm this. But academics drive cars. They play baseball, maybe, with a truly phallic device called a bat. Golf clubs? Pool cues? Hot dogs? <BR/><BR/>Academics often seem to feel that they are qualified to comment authoritatively on any subject, and their academic credentials somehow trumps the opinions of others. How delusional. Guns are BAD, so they are somehow transmuted to sexual objects. Are the academics so hide bound as to believe that sex is also bad? <BR/><BR/>The observation that, "When seconds count, the police are just minutes away." carries an irrefutable message that bears consideration, even by those who chose not to arm themselves.Mike Spieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181679891489101232noreply@blogger.com
