Writes Mark Higdn:

Lew, the following snippet of Tyler Durden’s essay jumped off the screen:

Ukraine’s chest beating is the national equivalent of “short man’s syndrome.”

Over a dozen years of my working life included substitute (I called it “mercenary”) teaching at the HS level. Throughout those years, I maintained a fit physique of 6’4″, 220-230#. I was adept at “command presence”.

My greatest classroom disciplinary challenges came from the banty roosters. Nevertheless, I succeeded in exiting that occupation without ever losing control of myself or my classroom. In addition, I succeeded in never touching any student in any way for any reason. Thus, my retirement years are unencumbered by any criminal charges or lawsuits. Maybe the US government should try my approach to conducting business: i.e. minding its own and deflecting others’ agendae.
