Yes, as Bebo has said, yesterday was awful. Why are people so easily offended? I think that they should alll be like us box-schoolers; Bebo, Joe, and I had never been taken seriously until we came to this wretched, explosive school. All through our happy little box-schooled hobo childhoods, whenever we stated an opinion on anything, one of two things would happen: One, we would be laughed at until the entire company was rolling around on the ground with tears making clean stripes on their faces; or, two, we would be called idiots and then ignored, the silence filled with nothing more complex than chewing noises and the loud, unhealthy breathing of hobos with colds. Oops, a third thing sometimes happened as well--sometimes, the entire company of assembled box-schoolers and box-schooling hobo parents and boxwives would laugh hysterically while calling us idiots and then ignoring us.
On the whole, nothing remotely as scarring as being accused of narrow-mindedness, bigotry, and rotten intellectualness ever happened to any of us. Why did we inflict this college nonsense on ourselves? Why?? Why?
However, there are certain good points to being at college. For one thing, we are finally in the process of being free of constant parental restraint, after fifty years of living in our parents' boxes and doing precisely as we were told. Also, we would never have coined such intelligent and original phrases as "Holy Swiss!" and "Chef in the bush" if we had not had the intellectual stimulus of college to get our creative juices flowing in such constructive channels (before college, our creative juices tended more towards flowing in the channels of inventing innovative new methods for the manufacture of mud pies, and effectively looting dumpsters without getting any coffee grounds or slimy banana peels on our clothes). In addition, Joe and I would never have discovered pork jerky if we hadn't ridden to school in Bebo's Razzle...
I don't think that, at this time, I will break with the trend of Bebo and I posting ludicrously short posts, especially since my math class starts in fifteen minutes and I have not eaten anything today (a circumstance which has extremely adverse effects on my already horrendous personality).
Toodl-oo!

YAY FOR THE END OF BOX-SCHOOLED BIGIOTRY!!!!!!! No, but truly, It is good for us to finally be challenged ethically. Did you know that statistically, the lower class is more economically liberal and socially conservative, and the upper class is economically concervative and socially liberal? ANd that higher levels of education corresponds with greater levels of social acceptance?
