I'm always off on a warped tangent. That's nothing new. And the drinking probably does contribute.
That said, this has got to be the new front-runner for most ironic thread in heybucket history (and believe me, that's saying something). I comment that umps and teachers think they are above criticism, and what happens...umps, teachers (and allies) go absolutely nuts because they think that I'm criticizing umps and teachers. Talk about proving my point.
For the record (and for the sake of the illiterate), I didn't criticize anyone, other than to say that both of those professions have actively cultivated an air of martyrdom--the notion that they are populated by self-sacrificing souls who are somehow special, acting solely for the greater good, and who are thus above criticism. Well that's horse pucky. Teachers as a group are no more saintly than anyone else.
So I invite you to belly up to the bar next to me. But fair warning...they don't serve Koolaide where I drink.
