Long-hair and crypto-homophobia ( Fortunato ruling )

A nice kid in a private Catholic school thinks his long hair

    style is really just his own business -and does little to subvert

    the education process there. The matter -sadly- gets settled in a

    Rhode Island court room: the kid can keep his idiosyncratic hair

    style - a small patch of free turf in a highly regimented little

    world. Thank God here for that " er-eccentric " Judge Fortunato !

    ( see PROJO editorial ).

              Consider the crypto sexism -or subtle homophobia here :

    Imagine a girl in a private school being told her hair is too long!

           Where can they draw the line ? Not at the barber shop !

           Looking at myself right now, I could pass for an aging 60s

    hippie. But I have a good excuse to avoid the barber shop- apart

    from making a rebellious STATEMENT:  I am getting cheaper and

    barbers are getting nosier !

              At age 55 some guys would LOVE to have a long hair

    problem.Eat your hearts out skin heads !

            UNPRINTABLE :  ( And they respond: " go to hell, faggot ! " )

          The 60s have been overbashed. Nice to be ALIVE back then.

              But don't expect to see my name in the POLICE LOG :

    " Cranston man busted for LSD possession ".

              Even back then my rebellion was confined... er to my

    HEAD !
