A bit of a rant...

I have commented on the free speech vs. "I'm offended" debate before. Simply by framing the issue with those words, you should know where I stand. I found this article in the Philadelphia Inquirer and completely agree with the author's conclusion:

'South Park' vs. the sword

Theo Van Gogh, whose antics occasionally resembled South Park's in their tastelessness, discovered that his pen was no match for a killer's sword. And yet, the pen - the keyboard, the comedian, and the editorial cartoon; Bart, Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny - actually holds enormous power. To win, however, it needs its backers to show backbone. Too bad South Park's have none.

If you prefer a picture (I'm not going to type 1000 words) here's one I used at my old blog.



End of rant.

Now I get to discuss Arizona's immigration law with my class (no controversy there!)

Well, it's about time!

Well, I'm back into biking to work on a regular basis. Three days last week - which is what I will normally be able to do until May. My Wednesday schedule keeps me on campus until 5pm, which is when I normally like to be arriving at home, not headed home, so I normally drive on Wednesdays. Plus, we normally schedule our family's chiropractor appointments then - so driving just works out for the best. Thursdays I teach a late-afternoon/early-evening course for the "Kean @ Ocean" program through Kean University. The class runs from 4:30 to 7:15. That is also pretty late to be biking. Now that the weather is better and it is still somewhat light at 8pm, I may try biking those days too. That leaves Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Since I have biked so little since last November, it's probably best to start out slow.

I'll try to post a little more regularly,
Brad
