just for fun...but it's about prostitutes!

So perhaps this is not 100% relevant but it's kind of funny. Today I was sitting in Dr. Brainerd's class (Systems and Theories...it's super exciting, let me tell you). And we were talking about Freud (which we have talked about in class so this is semi-relevant) and his defense mechanisms. Specifically we began talking about reaction formation (deny the unacceptable emotion but you substitute the exact opposite emotion in your mind) and he just likes to give lively examples. So he's in the middle of giving a very loud rendition of a televangelist yelling about prositutes and wanting to put them all in the grand canyon, fill it with gasoline, and burn them all ALIVE. He was yelling and going on and on about it and the room that we meet in is one of the rooms that is right off of the main entrance to Brackett so it is, of course, at this very moment that a tour group walks by. Everyone is peering into the window and looking alarmed while he's yelling about prostitute and burning them alive. I'm quite curious as to how many were scared away from Clemson (or at least their parents)!

Anywho, the televangelist was caught with a prositute showing that while he hated them and truly believed that he hated them, some despicable part of him loved them (at least according to Freud). It was kind of funny and made me think of this class since we were talking about prositution on Tuesday.
