Point taken, but unlike you and Ms. Keel, I feel less threatened by the rauchiness of college pranksters.

What make you think I feel threatened? Standing for traditional public moral values is hardly the same as feeling threatened.

As a native and currently resident Californian,...

It must be absolutely awfull being a conservative trapped in a liberal nation. Any chance of sneaking across the border at night?

Letting a prank by a few drunken frat boys prompt grumblings about "decadent Greece and Rome" sounds like someone who feels threatened. Believe me, college kids have been pulling things like this for CENTURIES; it's really not the end of civilization. The Classical civilizations' fall had a lot more to do with overextended empires and military supply lines than it did with erect weenies on the furniture.

And BTW, I'm not a "conservative." If you take me for one, it's probably because most of the people who tend to indulge in the sort of risible public stupidity I enjoy mocking, are left-wingers. Forty years ago, when the uptight, humorless control-freaks that I love to needle were mostly RIGHT-wingers, I probably would have been (erroneously) labeled a "liberal" for pointing out their foibles.

If you take this attitude, as I do, California is actually a pretty nice place to live. I reside in the Bay Area, so you can imagine how much free entertainment I get on a daily basis here.

BTW, cool handle. I wear a badge on my leather jacket that's a replica of the MILITI CHRISTI two-on-a-horse seal.
