*plane from local Air Force base flies loudly overhead, interrupting class for over a minute*
Professor: [sarcastically] You know, the base has a sign at the front gate: "Please understand our frequent flights. What you're hearing is the sound of freedom."
[pause]
Student: Freedom's a noisy bitch!

Fucking amazing. I wanna join YOUR school.

"What you're hearing is the sound of freedom"? Really? Like, um, "Forgive the high cost of x, it's the price of freedom?" And "That bitter taste in your mouth isn't so bad, 'cos it's athe taste of freedom?". Freedom is like the River Tam Control Word for Americans - stick it in there somewhere and they seem to expect everyone in the country will nod in a sort of zombie fashion and go "well THAT'S ok then!". Boggles my mind; only place I've ever seen stuff like that is Zimbabwe, only the rest of the world doesn't pretend they're not fucked up. No offense to um your country and everything, is has some lovely people, but wow- the govt?

Now's when you tell me your professor is just making the sign up 'cos he's witty that way. My defence will be, "but- Freedom Fries actually did exist!' *chuckle*

I haven't seen the sign myself, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were real. And the sad part is, the brainwashing has only worked on 51% of Americans, but evidently, that's more than enough. Well, we'll see how it goes in 2008. At least Bush will be GONE!

Yeah. Lets hope we get someone better. I was all "yay, vote democrat!" but recently i read on new scientist an article about someone trying to ban any future funding for a manned mars mission, and the suggestion was that it was a democrat move because the republicans had supported it and they're trying to make them out to waste money. Seriously, wtf? This is why they should let women run a larger percentage of the world. Clinton, despite his trouser-snake and lying problems, was actually not a bad president. A friend of mine at Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship met him, and said he was amazingly bright and clued about world affairs and politics. The dude was Zimbabwean and apparently he thought he'd catch Clinton out by asking about Zim politics, but the man could name and talk with reference to background of every momeber of the politburo there. My friend said he was pleasantly surprised.
