Which Reminds Me

Oh, ha ha ha! Am I hearing this right? So you think that wearing blue jeans daily as your self-appointed school uniform qualifies you as a police authority on all subject matters of potential conflict even though your shade of blue more closely resembles that of a coal miner or blue-collar worker's gear than any sort of authority figure, plus you have no badge, no whistle, no hat. Just because Lance might have been wearing blue jeans that day, having that hippie-flower child look of his, even though he was not holding his guitar at the moment, that did not make him an authority on religious matters. Obviously I have no idea who came up with that scheme. I would only be guessing that maybe you were not a Christian, in which case your personal bias would tend to favor Lance's presentation, even while persons of the devout Christian variety would strongly disagree with Lance as well as you on this point. When we once visited my cousin's junior high school in California we were shocked to see almost everyone wearing the blue jeans uniform, so just wearing blue jeans nothing special. Blue jeans are comfortable for casual days once you get used to that, I will admit. Even so, I just think that you are obfuscating the point because you don't wish to be confronted with religious arguments on points that make you personally uncomfortable. Yes, it is a complicated subject and I do think that Miss Marken's ninth grade honors English class is perhaps not the appropriate place for personal determinations of this nature. But anyway there is such a thing as freedom of speech and it was vinteresting to hear Lance's peculiar discussion, even though I might not agree with him in terms of religious belief. Anyway, you can't really control what people are going to say in their English oral reports and also the various ways that people might react to that.
