Nothing but class

Mr roT said...: Yes, AA, you're preaching to the choir. Still, young people do stupid things that they regret later. I think you and I are probably examples. Shit that I might have done as an undergrad I wouldn't think of doing now. Shit, even ripping off that golfcart in grad school...; 10/05/2008 3:49 AM

Sure, JJ, absolutely. This choir understands your preaching. But that is why I used the word "unregenerate". There is no sign I've seen that people like Ayers and Dorn carry regret for their actions. They certainly didn't have it when I first saw them in the 80s in Chicago. And if they do now it is hard to see it.
I'd point out two things:
First, the Weatherman movement lasted many years, well past the age of being "young" for those involved (who survived) and definitely not to be confused with a moment of youthful rashness
Second, the more fully one's young folly, if that is what it was, caused evil; the more deep and certain should be your future regret......If you truly do regret.
As I said; the problem is that Ayers is an unregenerate terrorist and not that he is an unregenerate flag stomper.; 10/05/2008 11:52 AM

possibly under the 1st amendment ?; 10/05/2008 7:24 PM
Mr roT said...: The first amendment has nothing to do with associating with a douchebag, does it, Pepe? You mean free assembly?
I think you didn't get AA's Portuguese-American sentence structure. First, get some chouriço (not from Kayla) and then give it a reread over a glass of port.; 10/05/2008 8:46 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: In truth, JJ, all Le Pew need do is swill some coffee and then look up the words "defensible" and "legal" in his Websters [his Kayla lovin' heart probably could not take reference to HotForWords]. He'll discover that, shockingly, they have distinct meaning.
