It’s one thing to elevate our military men to status of popular deity: this is the stuff of Dave Neiwert’s nightmares, bringing forth image of “brownshirts” and “creeping facsism.” Yet it is another to show appreciation for our troops by giving them discounts in privately-owned establishments, among myriad ways.

Blackfive has the details on yet another totally different “thing,” one that yet again makes me sick to my stomach. Oh what an intense day it has been, dear friends! I have no idea whatsoever as to how in the world they came up with this rule of theirs — if even this has been established a long time ago, I still think it’s a fucked up thing — and I still think that this school’s administrators are lucky that I call them cockroaches.

I just cannot see how and why they could arrive at a conclusion, at a decision like that. A teacher goes off to war and they make him pay for the substitute teacher, as well as demand remittance of part of his pay. This is far beyond “no preferential treatment,” which I think some anti-war people might want. This is hostility, underhanded, and totally disgusting.

Not even cockroaches deserve to be compared to these people.
