No doubt I could, but I would not then declare them to have been stupid because of their beliefs.

Last time I checked, the First Amendment applies to people praying too, even if you hate that it does.

I think someone can be brilliant and "stupid" at the same time. Like a Rhodes scholar who has unprotected sex with some Hillary Rodham chick.

It must be tough going through life being so jaded.

Brad
And were those student's not arrested? It comes as part of the territory known as civil disobedience. Break the rules, pay the dues. Not regretting the action is fine. Just do the time.

Otherwise, you're just a prankster and a scofflaw. Want to break the rules and not get caught. That's not character. That's just criminal.
