This is a quote from one of my students' papers today:
"You give people freedom of speech and then you can't shut them up!"

American students think they have freedom of speech? Interesting.

Well, I'm sure Rob didn't take it too seriously; he was there, after all, to put things in perspective.

It wasn't a theology class, it was a perspective drawing class. Their religious beliefs never came up. Nor did mine, for that matter.

But I'm sure that learning the pure "science" of drawing must have shaken their faith in the almighty.

Maybe I should have had them draw the tower of Babel in 3 point perspective, or something.
