Blah, blah, democracy has no place in a university, blah, blah, disco, blah

Had a conference in the flagship university this past weekend in a town--perhaps you've heard of it--Huajuapan de Leon. Nothing accomplished, naturally. Did get to listen to the the head of the university system drone on interminably about how freedom of thought has no place in a university. Ah, well. Then I got to go to a disco-er-club with other professors. I went to Oaxaca City the next day. More discos-er-clubs. Have I mentioned that they call clubs "discos" in Spanish and I don't want to hear any lip when I invariably slip up on my trips back to the States? Consider it done, then.
