"You sound to me as though you don't believe in free will," said Billy Pilgrim. "If I hadn't spent so much time studying Earthlings," said the Tralfamadorian, "I wouldn't have any idea what was meant by free will. I've visited 31 inhabited planets in the universe...Only on Earth is there any talk of free will." -- K. Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Minnesota shines through

Mental note: Never sit next to the middle aged Midwestern women in a genocide seminar.

Professor: Over a million Armenians were systematically massacred
Woman: Oh jeez.
Professor: To mock their religion, the killers crucified them on their own land.
Woman: Ohhhhh jeez.

This is not a joke. Also, their morning breakfasts of cookies and Diet Coke make me want to vomit. Am I being a little too judgmental?
