Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

> Anti-P2P college bill advances in House

This is just bizarre! Since when is it the duty of educational

But then given American college staff's propensity for tazering
their students, I can see why they might be somewhat confused
about the extent of their jurisdiction.
