This has been a good reminder that putting the ivory tower under siege was a stupid idea. The ivory tower is full of various forms of fecal matter. The closer you get to it, the more fecal matter you are covered in. Rather than charing up the hiss it is better to be happy and living in the meadow, by the brook, with the big shade tree. I cannot be their equals when it means lowering my standards and morals.
