Difference

One person kicks another person because he doesn't agree with their political views. It turns out the kickee is a college student and the <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/politics_student_kicked" target="_blank">kicker is a college teacher</a> visiting the college. The teacher issued an apology.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>"I acted entirely inappropriately by kicking you, giving vent to a thoughtless knee-jerk political reaction that should never have happened," she wrote. "Before the incident, I did not know you and that you are a Fort Lewis student." </blockquote><br />n<br />nSo it would have been okay to kick them if the person wasn't a student? That's the way it sounds to me. Not much of an apology.<br />n<br />n<b>Apology is only egotism wrong side out. Oliver Wendell Holmes</b>
