Maybe students have been observing and recording his behavior since the beginning, under the supervision of actual real professors. His classes are really labs. Eventually, someone will win a Nobel prize upon the presentation of the final study results. Or possibly it will be deemed to have been a more Milgramesque experiment than is ethically sound.

I don't believe you should be jailed or beaten up for your sexual beliefs or practices, or denied housing, or refused a job because of them.

And conversely, that of Dr Mike and his Bible-thumping ilk, who actually thrive on misery, persecution, and dominance, as long as they're on the right end of the stick, which somehow they always seem to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-17592897026097498412011-05-27T07:18:26.295-07:002011-05-27T07:18:26.295-07:00Brilliant job Doctor.
