the Uniform Code of Military Justice
specifies court-martial for any officer
who sends a soldier into battle without
a weapon there ought to be a similar
protection for students because students
shouldn't go out into life without an
ability to communicate and that's
because your success in life will be
determined largely by your ability to
speak your ability to write and the
quality of your ideas in that order I

said that's got to be her that must be
the gymnast but then it occurred to me

those examples some heuristic some
technique maybe only one will make what
