What sucks the worst is that there probably are people out there, who feel like that, whose lives are total shit because of Miller, and f*ckwits like this make it to where they feel like they have to repress themselves so that they don't come off like that.
And, if we do feel this way, we can't let it get us, we have to bust our collective asses and make something of ourselves, develop good reputations, and otherwise just beat the hell out of everything that was taught in the hellhole. If they know we're serious, can be taken seriously, and aren't just blowing smoke for attention, then its a lot less bs flying and a lot more credit given by parents who might figure out that tough love and club med just don't jive together.
Ya dig? (And yes, I'm a responsible adult, grown, kids of my own, and whenever one of my student's parents asks me how to help their kid, I can assure you that I do warn them of places like this, and the fact that I was there helps tons. Its about building a relationship on respect, not anger.) Just an opinion from a grown up Miller reject with kids of my own.
If they'd only legalize pot... guess that's another fight for another day
