Well, it's been a fair bit of time since I updated this journal, but today was a rough one and I need to vent.

To summarize the scenario, I started the fall semester at school this week. Shortly into my 2 hour stats lecture this evening, it was presented that my professor is a former statistician for R.J. Reynolds.

The fundamentals of this class (charts, graphs, principles) were all presented using data from "teen cigarette brand preferences". Not only did said professor describe tobacco usage as "a complete personal choice", she went so far as to blame parents for the widespread usage of tobacco amongst teens.

It was brutal to sit through the lecture without speaking up. I was torn between my hatred for nic and not wanting to disrespect my classmates with an argument.

Needless to say I will be visiting the professor during her office hours for a chat, but I'm quite aggravated that I signed up for a class taught by someone so close to the industry. A unique opportunity to hear details of her experience there, but it was very distracting.

Send her a copy of Zquitters hof speech.

Then tell her Diesel said to stop preaching about the nic biych and just teach standard deviation and figuring out the probability of shit.

Quit on..

^^^^Exactly....God Grant me the courage to change the things I can, serienty to accept the things I can not change and the wisdom to know the difference.....Have the conversation, but relaize you have having the discussion with part of the machine that denies nicotine is even addictive. Hang tough and quit on....you got a big semester.

Agreed ^^^. Even if you could somehow change her perspective, that wouldn't change the system the industry has nurtured over the decades. But you do have a. Opportunity to learn from a henchman of the enemy for a while- if you can stomach being that close to the evil babble. And I don't know if I could. Thanks for sharing this one- unique as heck.

Just a suggestion Jesse... Do not call her "nic bitch," at least to her face!

College is full of experiences like this. Try to grit your teeth and fight through it. I feel for ya. But I'm glad you aren't contributing to her fat ass pension.

Finally a situation worse than having to deal with the stereotypical left wing liberal professors when you believe in the constitution and are a student of critical thinking... Have the conversation if you must, but most people who are detached from reality don't want to hear it (not to mention collage profs (cough power trippin' cough). My advice is just grin and bear it, find out what she wants to hear and repeat it all the way to an A. Oh and plan on hitting the gym after her lectures.

I like your idea of having a one on one conversation with her. Discuss your battle with Big Tobacco and how hard it was. Perhaps you can open her eyes to a whole new world. Just do so with no perceptive notions or intent. She may gain a new respect for your path as well as your approach in bringing it to her attention. If not well then change classes.

Don't be surprised when you get a blank stare. She is probably so removed from the devastation caused by tobacco that she won't even flinch. She was a number cruncher and marketing data spewer. Probably never smoked... Good luck though. I would give her an earful. Shouldn't have to listen to that crap in college classes...

Ace the class first. Then let her have it after you officially receive your A. Copy me in on the email.

Wow.

Good luck. I had a hard enough time not punching my stats prof, and she was a sweetheart little old lady.

Get the A...fuck her....read her the right act. In that order.
