Careful where you point that finger, Bluebond
After I wrote a my little missive on Charlie Sprague's silly environmentalist suggestion, I wrote something saying that if the college were serious about banning emissions, it should ban East Coast and international students and only admit Riley Lewis, who lives in Claremont.
Andrew Bluebond, over at The Claremont Port Side, fires back with this humorless blog post supposedly attacking my logic, without recognizing that the whole point was to ridicule the kind of logic expressed in Sprague's post.
The college's job to "reduce its carbon emissions." Its mission is to promote education, something he concedes in the post.
Andrew didn't get the joke, probably because I was criticizing his religion. And he didn't see the obvious point I was making by silently comparing it to the tray ban, which never considered the trade offs between trays or no trays. So now I have to spoil the joke by explaining...
But hey, I did appreciate being lectured to about trade offs by a gender studies major. That was funny enough in its own right.

First of all, you can come up with a better picture than that. I was 17 years old!
Second, I don't believe I have ever written or spoken on global warming publicly, so how you can call it "my religion" is beyond me.
Finally, I am not sure what me studying gender has to do with this post, but I appreciate that you are paying so attention to my academic work.
