Give Me Liberty, And Give Me Death

At the ironically named Liberty University, students are not at liberty to dance, to drink, or to listen to any music not in keeping with the right-wing "Christian" teachings of its founder, the late but not lamented Jerry Fallwell.  Female students' dresses cannot rise above the top of the knee (presumably so as not to excite the immoral impulses of the male students, who must have to wank away their passions).  As this piece in the MaddowBlog notes however, not all at Liberty is forbidden:  the school is allowing students to carry guns on campus.   What could go wrong arming a lot of repressed, hormonally juiced God-botherers who are used to hearing "God" speak to them?
