Since it has become a semester based tradition to clog mailboxes
with copies of this law, I know offer the tradition of showing
just how the law prevents shameful abuse of fresh libertarians:
Life without the hazing law, by Omri Schwarz
Disclaimer: any resemblance with anyone living or dead
is deliberate, but funny enough (I hope) to be laughed out
of court, so there.
Cast:
-Vernon Imrich, Supreme Commander, in military fatigues and
two swords hanging from his belt.
-Emily Wallis, Same Rank, also in military fatigues and holding a horsewhip.
-Some poor froshling.
Freshman: "@small(I will think for myself, always. I will not
tolerate any infringement on my person.)"
Vernon: [draws sword] "@loud(louder!)"
Freshman: "I will think for myself, always. I will not tolerate
any infringement on my person."
[whipcrack]
Freshman: "@loud(I will think for myself, always! I will not tolerate
any infringement on my person!"
Emily: "That's more like it! Now, drop for 50!"
[whipcrack]
Freshman: [position assumed, begins] "1...2...3...4...5..."
Vernon: "@loud(Do'em right! How do you expect to survive being mobbed
in Harvard Square with those arms!)"
Freshman [continues] "7!.8!.9!.10!..."
Vernon: "And recite! 'I swear that I do not believe in, nor do I
advocate the initiation of force as a means for achieving social
or economic goals!'"
Freshman: [still going] "I.. ssswear.. [grunt] that.. I.. "

What can I say. I should be grateful for Beacon Hill's tireless effort
to save me from the hands of my infamously hazeful brothers, and from
the hands of that infamous Sadist, Emily.
And I don;t dare think what would happen if Mike were left unbridled.
Yippee Yahoo.
BTW, what's up with that gun law? Are hearings over yet? What about
that law requiring public schools to disclose their curriculum to
parents?
