Harvard Law School

Is a Neo-Con Cesspool

After Deans Clark and Kagan

I would not send my dog to

I like my dog

 

Nor my kids

Nor others’ kids

I like them too

 

To learn torture

And become torturers

 

To learn war crimes

And become war criminals

 

To learn kangaroo courts

And become kangaroos

 

To learn drones

And become droners

 

To learn murder

And become murderers

 

To learn assassinations

And become assassins

 

To trash the Constitution

And International Law

Human Rights too

 

This is not the HLS

I entered

In 1971

A Pox upon their House

 

Fab.
