Imagine if there were a Department of Firearm Studies. All the
professors were a card-carrying member of GOA, NRA, etc. The
professors' resumes consisted mostly of shooting competitions and
lobbying on behalf of the NRA and little, if any, scholarship. The only
reading materials were those supporting an absolute right to own
Stinger missles. Nothing was assigned supporting a mitia-centric view
or a more limited individual rights view. Any student who dissented
from the professors' orthodoxy would get a failing grade or be
ridiculed and ostracized. Students who wrote elected officials to
oppose gun control would get bonus points toward their grade and class
credit would be given for wearing an empty holster to support guns on
campus. The professors would also be de facto employees of the NRA,
albeit paid get paid by the university, who spent as least as much time
lobbying and organizing rallies as teaching or researching.
That would be the right-wing equivilent of the typical Womens'
Studies Department and the like. Don't hold your breath waiting for
this to happen. Nor should it happen. There should be a line between
the political and the scholarly.

... Except, of course, that the people who are in the Womens' Studies Department were born as women, didn't choose to be women and have been women 24/7 throughout their lives, while guns are machines that are manufactured by factories and are lethal.
Only a conservative could explicitly compare women to guns and not realize what an ass he is making of himself.

"people who are in the Womens' Studies Department were born as women"
Rules out men?
How inclusive, "what an ass he is making of himself": definitely.

Good points; now for the down side ...?

Rather than a specimen .... isn't this a
sample of the how
academia in the
Anglosphere has sunk to its
nadir in 2008?
After all, it has bias, bigotry and the rigid closed mind. It has approved plagiarism. It has dumbing-down. It gives a sinecure to someone whose career is built on plundering the good ideas of his/her/its student - without a word of acknowlegement. It has misinformation, dysinformation, ridiculous references and thoroughly dodgy primary sources. Probably pass marks for dropping your pants too. It has the unethical waste of the students' time, effort, enthusiasm, curiosity, reputation, money and other resources. In the end, the credential so gained will cost a hell of a lot more that it could ever be worth.
The good news is .... this is as low as it gets .... either that - or another King Henry VIII will rock up on the scene and "close the abbeys".

Well the story is very interesting. In my country, the use of firearms is a violation. So, I have never seen a real gun competition does. All I know is through the screen and the information on the internet. Thanks for sharing me.

Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry, which is operated by multinational corporations that use intensive farming and industrial agriculture to maximize system output.

We should thank you for giving such a wonderful blog. Your site happens to be not only informative but also very imaginative too. We find a limited number of experts who can think to write technical articles that creatively.
