Let me guess. We're not allowed to study the elephant in the living room either, right?

I think I'm in hate.

Every time a journalist or newspaper cartoonist suggests that someone's field of study is not valid, the baby Jesus cries.

(My father's specialty is Indonesian history. Ask him about the history of Asian Studies at Melbourne. Heck, give him a map of the campus, and he could *draw* the history of Asian Studies. With great big zigzaggy lines and little twisty staircases. I think there was a decade at one point when they locked all the academics, and students, from every non-European discipline in the Arts faculty together in a small storage closet in the John Medley Building and left them there. And they all broke out the clove cigarettes and let their hair down.)
