I missed my chance to see David Frum. [View All]

[rockymountaindem]

I am a freshman student at the University of Toronto (Canada, eh?). I am in a political science class with 900 students which is taught by a famous Canadian political/media figure, Janus Stein. As a result, our class gets its own TV show. Well, kinda. Here's the deal, we get 4 shows this year on TVO (Canadian PBS) where there's a "distinguished panel" and the audience is made of students from my class. The panel talks and then we get to ask questions. BTW, it's a live show.

The third program was tonight, and the topic was the privacy vs. security debate. I was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict with a club meeting. My arch conservative room mate went, though. He came back and said "Guess who was at the TV show". David F*cking Frum! I guess he has nothing better to do these days than to come on Canadian public TV and spread his views to a bunch of freshmen poli-sci students and the 3 people watching at home. In a way, that's comforting... from the Boy King's ear to a small studio with 100 Canadian teens. Buwa ha ha ha ha!!!

Anyway, after my roomie told me he was there, my response was "Good thing I wasn't there, I would have puked all over the floor! How lucky was everyone that I was busy!?" On the other hand, I did miss my chance to say "Hey, Mr. Frum... way to disgrace my country and make us all look like a bunch of small-minded fundamentalists. You are a humiliation to our country and the sooner you are all out of a job, the better!" That would have been righteous, but on the other hand, what if he had reacted like Novak? I'd be down at the hospital right now, taking advantage of that social health system!

What might have been...

Edited for redundancy is why I edited my post.
