We got our mid terms back. Before he passed them out he said that the class did not do well. The average was a 70.. which would play out to a C+. I thought, I worked too hard and studied too long to get a C+, so I was very disappointed. Until I got my test back... 95! "A"... either the highest or the 2nd highest grade in the class. (Smeagol takes a bow).
In our talk, I told the professor that I loved politics. He said that he could tell, and I was quite good at it. Then I had to defend Benjamin Netanyahu because he doesn't like Bibi. Well... Besides Reagan and "W", I love Bibi the best. He listened to me while I said Bibi was good for Israel. He thinks the Palis are victims... which I don't. Now he's thinking... I'm a conservative, a republican, and a zionist... I am this man's walking nightmare! :)
The class is boring as all get out (lecture only), but the liberal is turning into one of my favorite professors. I would take a class he was teaching again.
I bet the professor cannot stand the fact that you are way smarter than all of his liberal prodigies in that classroom. Tee-hee!
It seems, however, that he cannot help but admire you and enjoys the mental wrestling match against someone with a brain, albeit with different views from his own. Careful carton, you may just lead him into the vast right wing before long.
You should show up next week in an NRA sweatshirt...
He thinks the Palis are victims... which I don't.
They may have been victims once, but their cause ceased to matter in my book on the day of the first suicide bomber. In my world, you cannot be a barbarian one day, and sit down at a table and negotiate with the civilized world the next day with people who are bound by rules. You lose your license. I think we have already given them too much legitimacy, and it will never end.
