I have to keep reminding myself that most of them don't want to have to put up with thugs like these, either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835164854514314231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1148844868359942282006-05-28T14:34:00.000-05:002006-05-28T14:34:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1148842578483201482006-05-28T13:56:00.000-05:002006-05-28T13:56:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1148830088663930522006-05-28T10:28:00.000-05:002006-05-28T10:28:00.000-05:00I think we should all wear shorts to work this wee...I think we should all wear shorts to work this week in solidarity. Ann, you on board?<BR/><BR/>This is just a terrible story, by the way: so symbolic of the sheer, bone-deep fascism and smallness of fanatics. It makes it very hard to imagine that it's possible to fruitfully negotiate with people operating under such a low level of rationality and perspective.reader_iamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352836883752091339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1148827929871031582006-05-28T09:52:00.000-05:002006-05-28T09:52:00.000-05:00I always had a sports exception!Anyway, who hasn't...I always had a sports exception!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, who hasn't made jokes that someone ought to be killed for wearing some bad fashion? I've always remembered the Fran Liebowitz wisecrack: "Your right to wear a lime green leisure suit ends where my eye begins." These jokes don't seem so funny when there are actually fascists afoot.Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1148827508161779542006-05-28T09:45:00.000-05:002006-05-28T09:45:00.000-05:00This is what Ann's anti-shorts crusades would look...This is what Ann's anti-shorts crusades would look like, of course, if she were corrupted by extreme fundamentalist Islam.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835164854514314231noreply@blogger.com
