Sorry, Miker. This time your blanket statement is dead wrong
at birth. I spent as many years driving taxicab at night in
San Francisco as I have in academia. I have seen the dark
side of the dollar. Trust me; higher ed folks can not be
blamed for any queasy morality. Madmen and outlaws, thieves
and weirdos rule, and they never need a teacher to dirty-dog
weasel. Worse yet, they look like you and me. Maybe more like
you. Me, I'm okay. 'K? Don't bite that coin. You don't know
where it's been.
