Haha, well if that's your point than I agree. I have had some incidents, but it's no pervasive thing. Of course, I'm also white, straight, and have the military hair cut. Wonder what it would be like if I didn't.
Also, it should be pointed out that I have almost gotten a ticket for my truck for 'public indecency,' something that wouldn't have happened in, say, Iowa City.

Nice truck. It reminds me of how I used to go out wearing pajamas, leopard-print slippers, and a pink mohawk.

I think this line's mostly filler.

I've addressed that. If it isn't prevailing in my house, and it isn't prevailing among my circle of firends, and it isn't prevailing among the places I like to hang out, then it isn't prevailing in my life. I refer to the original claim: that there are so many conservatives in the South that it would actually be impossible for a liberal-thinking college student to live here. That is patently ridiculous. . . .The "mandatory" bit was a play on how ridiculous it is.

So I saw your "impossible" in italics up there, and out of curiosity, I did a search of this thread for that word. Your post (and now mine too I suppose) is the only one in which it appears.
Nobody said that. |

Do you have a thesaurus?

Didn't they die out with the rest of the dinosaurs?

I'm pretty sure the mockingbird is a descendant of the thesaurus.

I'm very very partial to Bennington College in Vermont, at this point. Marlboro is still high on my list, but if I can get in (and, more importantly, if i can afford it), Bennington's top of my list. On the other hand, if I decide to opt for a bigger school, then Towson University in Maryland's looking like my favorite of the bigger ones. UMD's just too big, and if i don't go to school in new england, I wanna go somewhere in maryland.

Sounds like you have a plan.
UMD is pretty big. We've hired a lot of people who have come out of there, and they have all been pretty good. Of course, we don't hire the bad ones, so I'm not sure that really means much. |

Having read this thread for the first time today, I was actually going to recommend Bennington. I have a good friend who goes there, and loves it enough that he spent several months trying to get me to transfer. It's challenged him and changed him in wonderful ways, and it sounds like he is having a really rounded experience.

I know you're pretty much decided, and on better criteria than just one issue, but I read this today and thought of you anyway.
