Mind Like A Steel Trap… a Closed One

I usually don’t waste the time pointing the inanities of my fellow local columnist and blogger, Mark Peterson, but this was too annoying to pass up.

It is probably a generational disability, but I have never been able to understand, or accept, the possibility of a 20 year old Republican; such a thing violates the laws of nature and the revolutionary traditions of this country.

Bear in mind that Peterson is a professor who allegedly teaches 20-year-olds - many of them Republicans.  Does he really view them with such disdain?  He can’t “accept the possibility” that they exist?  They “violate(s) the laws of nature?” 

That’s a pretty closed mind for a philosophy professor who is tasked with educating young minds.
