He showed that the time of feeling intimidated by a uniform has passed! What I'm not proud of is that his arrest was a couple of weeks before the story went national, and only then were the charges dropped. I’m proud of Prof. Gates’ conduct.

But at least now any person can use it as much as <em>they</em> like without some passing nerd throwing a hissy fit at <em>them</em>. Huzzah!

It has recently become grammatically acceptable to use the 3rd person plural pronoun instead of indicating a gender. I was actually disappointed in Prof. Gates's conduct. Any black man knows that talking to a back to the police is gonna get the Prof. beat, especially when such a Prof. starts in on that police's mama. So much for change.

He also often uses "a" instead of "an" too often for my taste, but he's still a day's journey by train ahead of Dubya in speaking ability. That's not only a change I can believe in, but also one I appreciate. And really, arresting a man for being rude to a police officer? Can you say "abuse of power"? Can you say "Free Speech"? So much for a man's home being his castle. To be fair, at least President Obama used a commonly used erroneous phrasing.

They would have known who the egg-thief was <i>if they had been at their desk the way they were supposed to be. </i>However, they had slipped out for an unauthorized 3 hour break and missed the whole thing. Admitting to this would lose them a whole lot more than a dozen eggs. Thus, the note posted as a clever ploy to convince HR that they really were doing their job. You know, the one they are paid to do. Who knows, perhaps tomorrow a green note will be posted telling them that they are fired. Of course, this whole thing is a bluff.
