Separation of Guns and Schools

A kid (and his mother) from near where I used to live were arrested for planning a Columbine-like attack on a high school. How 21st Century! How exciting! When are the idiots on the far right going to realize that it's TIME TO GET RID OF THE GUNS? How many more Columbines and Virginia Techs do we need? Last year I moved from Florida to Tennessee, seat of the Bible Belt and gun culture. Some of the street wisdom around here: "Protected by Smith and Wesson." "Keep honking, I'm loading."

Keep shooting; Jesus is watching.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog about language, music, popular culture, and the arts. I am a Professor of English and International Studies and have been teaching English since 1991. I'm also a published poet and songwriter. I'll be sharing some of my thoughts on love, life, the college scene--most often in verse--along with whatever other random musings I think my visitors might be able to stomach. Enjoy!
