Where have driving manners gone on campus?

by

Why are drivers in the ACU parking lots literally some of the rudest drivers I have ever come across?

Granting of course that there is so much more to assimilate than ever before in the history of man the fact still remains that one almost needs a Ph.D. to brush his teeth correctly. Times used to be so that all one needed to be totally superior was a B.S. I ... [Read More…]
