WEEK OF TOURTURE: Part II - My Response to Casey's Response

Ok, so I'm glad everyone thinks my getting grounded is SOOO humerous. No, really, very funny. I have absolutely nothing else to do anyway besides school and debate so it doesn't matter [tear, sigh]. You know there's a problem with the balance of the universe when Casey grounds me and the following people agree it is necessary and warranted:

  1. My debate partner
  2. A few of my friends
  3. My debate coach
  4. My PARENTS!!! [Thanx mom, take HIS side why don't you..I'm your daughter! sheesh.]

Oh the humanity!! So, I'd like to publish a response, DB8 style...Off the statement that I give Casey gray hair:

  1. The only thing that gives Casey gray hair is the fright he gets EVERY TIME DR. DILLMAN CALLS HIM OUT FOR SLEEPING IN CLASS.
  2. Casey, if anyone gives anyone gray hair in this relationship, I think you've got it backwards: Exhibit A: The time I had to study with you for like SIX HOURS so you'd get a good grade in American Presidency. Exhibit B: [It's 3:00 am] "My dear Elizabeth, I need help AGAIN. What's the present tense for 'I am hungry' in Spanish? How do you conjugate 'estar'? I don't know any of the answers!!!" [I think I should get MORE sympathy points for that because after like weeks of harassing me for help with your Spanish YOU DROPPED THE CLASS.]
  3. I have more stories of you giving me gray hair, and earning "jerk" points at the same time, but you wouldn't want them subject to public scrutiny. [Now, at this point, some of you may say I'm being a bit unfair to our good friend Mr. Bingham. But remember friends, HE STOLE MY iPod! End of story.]

Off the statement where Casey says he thinks it's FUNNY to say patriarichal statements [to me]:

  1. Oh really, keep it up and see how far it gets you...
  2. Jesus is not a patriarch...
  3. I'm not sure that's part of the "chivalry" statements in the FRAT credo
  4. Dehumanization Is the Most Destructive Force In the Round: It's the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse - VOTE HIM DOWN -Ashley Montagu and Floyd Matson, author and editor, prof. of American Studies, Univ. of Hawaii, THE DEHUMANIZATION OF MAN, 1983, p. xi

It neither kills outright nor inflicts apparent physical harm, yet the extent of its destructive toll is already greater than that of any war, plague, famine, or natural calamity on record -- and its potential damage to the quality of human life and the fabric of civilized society is beyond calculation. For that reason this sickness of the soul might well be called the "Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse." It's more conventional name, of course, is dehumanization.

Now judge, when you are weighing impacts at the bottom of the round, remember my #3 off his #1: HE STOLE MY iPod...humph. Vote Neg [me].
