Seems wise. There are a whole lot of soulful undergraduates out there who should have their fountain pens confiscated before they craft another verse about oppressed something or others.
Yes, and mimes too. What with all this recent U.S.- French amity there’s no telling when they’ll try to stage a comeback.
The best countermeasure against mimes that I know of, is a speeding truck.
Yes, and this ass clown will be the first to get a ride in Ol’ Sparky.

Surely the market disincentives — mockery, parody, failing to get co-ed phone numbers at slams — preclude the need for authoritarian intervention.
Bloody Peasants…
Andrew, I’d prefer to let the market take care of it, too, but I’ve noticed that there’s a remarkable recidivism rate here.

Bloody Peasants.
See? the distinction between dramatic and lyric is thus plain before you.
As are double-posting pricks, but you knew that…
