Excerpt from malpractice

28judge (to lawyer #1): does counsel have any further questions for this witness?

29lawyer #1: no, your honor. i believe the witness can be excused. (winking at the jury) after all, we wouldn’t want to induce another episode of decerebration in our professional athlete here. (walking away from the witness stand but then turning back to daniels) i’m sorry, mr. daniels. allow me to translate. we wouldn’t want you to faint again like a little boy on a hot day at his first little league game. i want you wide awake when dr. milford countersues for defamation of character.

30pitcher: why you lousy—

31lawyer #2: your honor, i object! he's badgering the witness!

32judge: objection overruled.

aye how much for a gram of crack my homie jeremy needs it he is a horn dog.

she has clear pronunciation

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
