Canada is not a "free society"

That's all I have to say to Eric Michael Johnson's post, Ann Coulter, Hate Speech, and Free Societies. OK, seriously, from what I recall Eric is an American, though resident in the forgotten north. American absolutist stances on free speech are not shared by most Western societies, so demanding…

After our spring break I subjected them to the dreaded oral exam, which actually isn't so bad. I tried to engage them less in an adversarial role and more as a quiet conversation between two people on science. Some students took to it easily --…
Babirusas can get impaled by their own teeth: that most sought-after of objects does exist! (babirusas, part VIII)
