Article: Worried About Guns, Ban a Musical

[Guest Len]

As a faculty member in the Humanities, as a gun owner, as an American, as an advocate of the theory that "all college administrators are idiots or just plain evil," I am BEYOND PO'd about this one. Read it and be disgusted. Some of the comments posted at the end made me smile.

I don't even know where to begin on all that is wrong with this one...

If only they had a PhD in common sense.

If they did, they would find an inane way to debate it into nonsense.

unbelievable, now wooden stage guns are so dangerous that they must not only be cut in half but also not used. If this was not sad it would be funny.

I was particularly amazed at the concern that the fake "gun shots" would be heard outside the theater. Two thoughts quickly spring to mind:

1) College theater walls are usually built pretty thick to insulate the interior from exterior noise. I imagine the insulation works both ways...

2) The gunshot sound is pre-recorded and piped through the sound system at the appropriate moment. I'm betting they have a volume control on that sound board.

Freakin' insane nonsense.

I hope they are enjoying the justified ridicule.
