60. This is from an OLD Political Science Lesson. "There is nothing more democratic than a lynching Bee.
Edited on Sat Aug-08-09 10:58 AM by slampoet
, " said my Mr. Blake political science professor in the first words of the very first session of the first ever college class i took back in 1987, "It leaves an overwhelming satisfied Majority and a Dissatisfied Minority of of one.....

"But luckily, WE Don't Live in a Direct Democracy. We live in a Representative Democracry and that is what you will be learning about in this class."

After saying this he proceeded to identify himself and list all his political biases while telling us that any poly sci professor who didn't tell you their bias or said they were unbiased was worthless.

Prof Blake told us that he could be considered a new deal democrat except that he gave a damn about the environment for his grandchildren's sake. He also revealed that he had throat cancer and after this semester would stop teaching to have throat surgery. This class was my first. This semester was his last one. WE later heard he died of his cancer. Prof Blake never lectured us about Health Care.

I don't know if Neil Boortz was sitting in class next to me that day but Mr Blake would have FLUNKED HIS DUMB ASS.

Boortz took away only the killing part of that lesson. He was too salivated on killing to hear the other part.
