Here’s what I wrote to the woman in the article:

Dear Rita,

I read an article in an online newspaper about the way you chose to handle a recent school dance. I have to say that I’m horrified to hear about your behavior. I am sure you’ve heard plenty of this already, but I cannot get this off my mind. With all that is going on in the world, you have chosen to divert your attention and effort to a “purity screening” at a school damnce? That is unacceptable. Not only have you diverted your attention from matters of true significance, but you’ve taken it upon yourself to occupy the attention of students, parents, and onlookers.

Some people say that the “sexual freedom” of society is to blame for the corruption of today’s youth. Saying that Oscar Wylde is responsible for the fall of England would be just as true. Perhaps your intentions were good, and you were just trying to curb the corruption of your students. However good your intentions, they were horribly short sighted. What you have done has only put yourself under the scrutiny of the entire nation.

As much as I hate to say it, I sincerely hope the fallout of this event ends in your resignation. You are a dangerous person. Either your school comittee was not informed of your actions, in which case you were acting on your own agenda without check which is intolerable, or your comittee was unwilling or unable to stop you from your actions, in which case they too should be held under scrutiny.

I invite you to share your feelings on this and inform me of why you did what you did. I am eager to hear your side of the story, since you have definitely heard mine.

Thank you for your time.

That’s pre-spell check.

There’s a lot more to it, but read this thread.

This and several other things that happened this morning have really kinda woken me up. I’m shrugging off some of my embedded “turn the other cheek” (read: apathy) mentality. I’m really going to start being a little more active in combatting general stupidity. Starting with finding the email address where I can best voice my view on this particular subject. Fucking morons.

On a related note, Wumpscut has been recently making it into the forefront of my musical mind.

and another:

“A good friend is someone who will bail you out of jail. A best friend is the person sitting next to you in jail saying ‘damn that was cool'”

A quote from a friend.

“If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49. If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser, (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79. It is therefore financially prudent in these troubled times to drink heavily and recycle.”

You’ve prolly all seen this before, but:

Notice the woman’s controls aren’t labeled either 😀 .
