If you had to give this blog a movie rating, what would it be and why?
Apparently, I earned that rating due to the occurrence of the word "death" and the B-word.
I'd have guessed that the "adult themes" (of bad actors in academic and scientific communities) would be more of a worry as far as what kiddies should be exposed to, but hey, I don't rate movies, I just watch 'em.

I mean, sheesh.
Of course, most of the discussions are at a level that wouldn't be expected from a Hollywood movie, never mind a G-rated movie.

A post on Salman Rushdie with "death" and "suicide", a post on Paul Hill with "shooting", and some quotes from the likes of David Hume, Alexander Hamilton and Mark Twain using the word "danger(ous)" referring to the government, got me an NC-17. It's not sex ... which is kind of refreshing, in a way.

What? With that scandalous photo of rabbits the other week, I figured you would at least get a PG-13!
