Just another argument for strict fascism...

"Freedom," of course, is a wonderful thing. We love ours, other people hate ours but like theirs, and on and on. But how far can we let this freedom thing go? Because I have seen more than my fair share of overbloated redneck chicks walking around in painted-on denim short-shorts and belly-shirts picking at long lost stretches of fabric between their crotch with their legs stuck together almost all the way to the knees rubbing together like two sticks trying to make fire but ultimately failing due to a constant flow of sweat that begins around the back of the neck and pools in salty reservoirs behind them as they take on the challenge of staying upright as they penguin-step towards class. How about a dress code? Everyone has to wear upside-down burlap sacks with a hole cut out for the head and arms. If people can't dress without inducing naseau upon the general public, perhaps the imperial federal government should step in with a little helpful legislation and regulation. Just a thought.

Also, who said the hippies were allowed to have cell phones? If you have dredlocks and no shoes and ankle jewelry, isn't the cell phone a bit of a personal hypocrisy?

In a move apparently designed to get the Athens-area homeless population smelling a little less foul, the University cleaned out and chlorinated the various fountains around North campus over the summer. Instead of a nice collection of natural looking monuments to the aqua god, we now have an assortment of kiddie pools around campus. Word on the street is that the Homeless Union threatened to go on strike if they couldn't dive for quarters in a sanitary environment. Another victory for organized labor!

I am now 95% sure that the lawnmower man cutting the grass in front of me has passed over the same spot four times. Updates at the top of the hour.

School is going well. I'm back to getting my judicial system fix, something I haven't been able to do since the Philosophy of Law class a couple years back. I'm taking a history class on the American legal system, with a focus on specific court cases through history. Should be fun. And I'm in another class that is sure to piss me right off--environmental ethics. Should have a similar effect on me as the feminist class, as we'll be reading articles arguing that plants are on equal moral grounds with human beings.

As it is now at least 143 degrees out here and I have class in a little bit, I am off to conquer more of the academic world.

In the words of the immortal Skip Caray...

So long, everybody.
