You know, living in Florida for over two months, you would think that I would have a better knowledge of what’s going on here. But then again, I never really had a spectacular sense of direction (or anything of the sort) to begin with, so is that surprising? I mean, I get lost on the I-4 at least twice a week coming back from school, and the other half of the time, it’s just sheer dumb luck. But I digress. I felt like it would be appropriate to point out that it wasn’t until about five minutes ago that I found out that the tasering (not tasing) incident happened at U.F. I wonder if this is something I should have known, especially considering (a) I live here (b) I watched Best Week Ever on VH1 a fortnight ago, and they were going on and on about it. I think I just saw it as an amusing incident, and yeah, whatever. The only reason I bring it up is that in English, we heard a podcast about how it was this whole big thing and Kerry was there (which of course you would know, if you were aware of anything in the news) and whether the issue was a police issue or a freedom of speech issue. I think that it would be totally retarded (like Philip IV’s son) for this to turn into some big legal issue or whatnot. The police was trying to keep the guy under control, but the guy did have the right to express his opinion. They shouldn’t have gone on for so long, sure, but it didn’t infringe on his rights completely. There are rules, you know. Just my opinion.
Quote of the day:
“He’s retarded! Put him in a cage!”
(On Philip IV’s retarded son. Please do not be offended if you or anyone you know is retarded. I only aim to entertain.)
