I never said or implied I was more important.  It was the faculty who were called "lazy". Plant Manager said, "The average Mississippian begrudges doctors their high salaries less than he begrudges professors their salaries because, to paraphrase LVN, when is the last time a history professor saved your life? Faculty are just expendable. " 

To which I responed:  (Oh, History profs do save lives, usually by the thousands, when wise leaders decide not to go to war because they understand History.) 

And Plant Manager responds: "You guys are hilarious! Are you sure you're not a comedy writer? That's the funniest thing I've heard lately! Keep 'em coming!"

I "kept it coming" because I am the one supporting the worth of all humans against "some are expendable".

 Secondly, who do you think you're talking to?  I know who (what) you are; yet you have no idea who (what) I am.  I'm a prof too. ...

 

I have no idea who you are.  I don't even know if you are a prof.  I tried to talk issues, but keep getting all of these emotional responses instead. 

 

Good night, First Things First.

Thanks for that explanation LVN.  I was confused about how you were involved it all of that.

Good Night LVN.
