Are you serious? You are actually going to publicly say "souring brettanomyces"? In this day and age? I get that in the early days of the rising popularity of mix culture fermented beers, people often would mistake what organisms did what, but come on you're supposed to be an "expert" and we should be past these miscon...

I'm not "cool" with it.

The problem is the majority wants to talk about hanging abortion doctors, ensuring high school kids can carry guns, and paying zero taxes. The minority wants to talk about LGBT&Q rights, treatment for addicts, housing the homeless, and even more money for the NEA. No common ground means nothing serious gets solved.

Brad - I would hope that 18 - 20 year olds would not be carrying a handgun concealed because it is illegal to do so until they turn 21. I have not heard there is a problem with hunting rifles and shotguns being carried around by those 18 - 20 year olds everywhere else, unless you count the gangbangers.

Why should UAA be any different than universities in the lower 48 who are scared of their own shadow? After all, college students can't be trusted to behave in a rational manner, they haven't grown up yet. Gun free zones will protect our little, gentle flowers from the big, bad wolf.
