Editor,
Who authorized that grotesque anti-abortion spectacle anyway? I was on my way to a quiz and could not even concentrate because I was so angry with the whole circus. If the regents of this state-run school believe it is important for college students to be exposed to propaganda, then let’s not fail quizzes over it. Let’s just have a week of no classes where all we have to do is look at bloody, provocative pictures.
On Monday we’ll have pictures of dead fetuses; on Tuesday we’ll have PETA show up with mutilated cows and bloody chickens; on Wednesday, we’ll have the anti-war crowd come over with dead Iraqi children with bloody faces; then on Thursday the anti-vivisection crew can show their dead cats with their flesh melted off, and maybe we’ll wrap it all up on Friday with a big pile of dead Palestinians.
Then we can all go home over the weekend and decide that we are not going to stop driving our cars, eating meat, wearing makeup or having sex, so we had better show up on Monday ready to focus, because we’re going to have to figure out how to sustain the 10 billion people who will be sharing the same planet with us during our professional careers that we are trying to prepare for.
