It is a concept album after all, so by that means it is a rock opera.

Surely am pleased to hear of your “guns in church” policy. Me too! Too many bad boys and girls think a church gathering is “easy picking!” Not the case so much now adays.

The mixing up of our beliefs and actions with that den of depravity and anti-Americanism in Chicago is unfortunate.

I never knew that. I always thought there had to be a play or opera performance tied to it.

No, not at all. I believe ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd is a concept album. Also, Streets: A Rock Opera by Savatage is exactly that.

Our daughter is graduating from Ave Maria Univ. She received an excellent education, though she said the old Administration came out with some boneheaded ideas, sometimes. Thankfully, they didn't put them into practice.

The new Administration, under Jim Towey, seems to be doing things right.

Most of the engineering schools are conservative. Virginia Tech is pretty conservative but the nuts make all the noise. When they held a gay wedding or Global Warming rally on campus, only about a dozen people would show up. Even anti-gun rallies were sparsely attended. More people whowed up to the Bass Fishing Team’s national award ceremony. Everyone is focused on their job after graduation.

“Isn’t Church of Christ the one Obama’s pastor belongs to?”

Nope. That’s United Church of Christ or Unitarians Considering Christ.

Methodology is the key here. Note that it isn’t objective, it is a survey mainly of student perceptions. Yeah, some of it is reality based. But much of it is based on student perceptions. Classes may seem a lot less rigorous when you are stone cold sober versus stoned.

Florida State is a Football School and George Washington a Basketball School. All they care about is the money those programs bring in.
