    Sometimes we all wish we had the guts to deal with certain people the way they really deserve. For those parents/kids/teachers looking for a new approach to take with administrators, why not go the direction this person has and try a mix of 50% sarcasm and 50% sheer lunacy? My favorite passage has to be "I understand the need for conformity. Without a concise set of rules to follow we would probably all have to resort to common sense."
