Sad commentary on America: "property of the U.S." T-Shirt

One of my students came in tonight wearing a t-shirt plastered with a gigantic flag, below which was written "Property of the U.S." Dangling at mid chest was a cross the size of a Cadillac. On how MANY levels is this display wrong? Who is PROPERTY of the U.S.? Who that is a Christian would wear a shirt like that. Why aren't college students using their damn brains? AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH And we wonder why people like Alito, Shrub, Lott, Delay get into office. Automatons.

1. Christ had bling...you didn't know?

The kid probably tried to make a statement to you because obviously you're one-o-them dirty brainwa'r'shing liberal professors who, if it were up to the GOP, should be shot for 'stealing' a whole generation of christians and putting ungodly (i.e. independant) thoughts into their heads.

2. Those people are harmless morons

Looking for the only way they can make an impression on another person.

Ignore them.
