What about the Student to Professor relationship?
Watch Paper Chase with John Houseman and Timothy Bottoms circa 1973.
Trigger Warnings: a statement at the start of a piece of writing, video, etc., alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material (often used to introduce a description of such content).

Sometimes to enable continued standing against the wind, waves and sun, we need to dig in to maintain balance.

Yes, that dance in the Argentina cantina was a Rose McGowan blast.
The taco truck was a nice gesture…until I got a “head” [cabeza] or a cheek taco; new experiences–like going to France.

@benshapiro @director81 Would have RT’ed, but you used the word “obvious”. More than one law professor told us, ‘Nothing’s #obvious [in the law, that’s why you’re here].’

A “privilege” to serve didn’t even make the top 100.
Re: NBC News’ use of “privilege” as teaser or sign off.
“Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”
Soldiers and guards are given enormous discretion within their duties. They assume the mantle of their superiors. Was Jesus forgiving the doers, the guards carrying out his execution or all involved: the priests, Judas, the mob, Pontius Pilate and finally the soldiers who carried out the crucifixion. We know he forgave one of the thieves who was crucified with him.
I always believed Jesus meant everyone, including us, but today am not sure. It could have been Jesus spoke of only soldiers doing the actual hands-on crucifixion, but not extending the prayer of absolution to Pontius Pilate or Judas, of whom Jesus said, “It would have been better had [he] not been born.”
Of Pilate, we don’t know. The Roman Catholic Profession of Faith dropped the name-drop that Jesus died “under Pontius Pilate”. I suppose Pilate is like a governor representative of the community he governed, not any better than those that allowed a mob to assume power in his stead, handing him over to the Roman guards to be executed. The soldiers did their duty and cast lots for Jesus’ garments as he hung on the cross. “They know not what they do.”

Neither wickedness nor good can save us from time and opportunity, from the occasion of sin or enlightenment. Refinement benefits little when one chooses debauchery to mess up one’s soul. Like the non-smoker who takes a lighted fag into one’s lungs, it’s counted worse in drag damage than an habitual smoker who might puff a…
