How To Address A Visit from MPAA Senior VP Rich Taylor?

tedswiss writes "Fate has dropped a unique opportunity upon my lap: I teach at a moderately small independent school who has as one of its alums Richard Taylor. Mr. Taylor is both speaking at our start-of-year festivities and being honored with this year's "Distinguished Alum Award." Having followed and been disgusted by the MPAA's corporate practices regarding DRM and government lobbying in the past (Anyone remember DeCSS?), I would love to make his visit a chance to truly educate our student body, not just indoctrinate them. The school administration is sympathetic to my plight, but I want to present them with more than just my complaints. How would you best make use of this opportunity if you found yourself in my shoes?"

    quit your bitchin. Take the sheepskin and run. No one cares about your politics. You want to indoctrinate them as well, just into your philiosphy. Mind your own business, all will be happier

      No kidding. Poor little crybaby can't get free movies or music any more. Cry me a river.

      Hey, tedswiss, change your major now to something that has a chance at earning you a decent living. Otherwise, the world will have to put up with your whining for the rest of your life. Please spare us your barstool philosophy that you will surely spout after each and every day of your 35 hour work week at the coffee shop. And, no, we will not buy your witty bumper sticker from your blog.
