Bloombutt is singularly the person I hate most in this world. He has caused me and many of my colleagues unbelievable misery as teachers. We have been actively harassed, threatened, fined, brought up on false charges, run out of schools, etc. as part of his asinine “school reform” project, wherein he blindly flails about without a clue, ruining dedicated peoples’ careers left and right. I would have loved the opossum to have bitten off his entire face, a la the chimp who did that to a woman.
Culture does exist outside the large urban areas, leaving a place like NYC does not mean leaving civilization, it means the opposite.
