No, no, Mike. I was testing something I've wondered about for a long
time: I wondered whether Irene is an Earthling or from . . . someplace
else.
I'm not going to turn you in Irene -- nothing like that -- I'm not really
a racist, even about extraterrestrials. Just answer one question for me:
what is it with all your anal probes?

fairly easy to come by? And who is instructing whom to blame Bush and the
Neocons?<<
Relax, Irene, even Lawrence can be ironic.

No, no. Pacifism is taught in all the classes. It's too important to be
left to just one or two classes, someone might not take them. And if some
red-necked student were to speak up and suggest they should jump someone
like Cho and knock him flat, several in the class would be taught to sneer
in husky voices, "shame," while pointing with one forefinger and rubbing the
other across it. And if the redneck were to brave that peer pressure and
perhaps even reiterate that it would be a good thing if they were to jump
someone like Cho and knock him flat, the class is instructed to chant in
unison, "There's got to be a better way."
But the instruction doesn't end there. If a Cho-like creature were to
shoot up a class, the survivors, should there be any, are instructed to
blame the whole thing on Bush and the Neocons.
