You think Joe is just a cop, the fuzz, a pig, is that it? You run around putting down police officers until the day you're on the wrong end of a crime, then you call for help. Within 24 hours of the police helping you, you're right back to putting them down. The "cops" are people, hard working people who do their jobs sometimes 24/7 with pay that isn't all that great. Many detectives are highly educated, college degrees and even advanced degrees in mathematics, criminal justice, business, other sciences, lots of subjects. They work hard to try to do their jobs well. What does that get from people like you? Contempt. That's fine. They'll keep doing their jobs. Think about that next time you're walking down a dark street and you don't like the looks of the character who may be following you. Who are you going to call? A cop?

Joe makes the point to Bill that the class is meant to react to the person, not his/her occupation. So why didn't Joe refer back to that when Prof. Grant made his accusations of Joe taking the class to spy on others admitting they use drugs? Especially if it was Grant's own rule. But it's also true that 'Barbara' reveals she works in a hospital, as if the class already knew it. While it may be an inconsistency, it still seems Joe should have referred to that point when trying to persuade the others.

That goes along with one thing Friday said-- "if you don't like the laws about marijuana, then you and your friends get together and change them." I know the hippies didn't think that would take as long as it did. In fact, in that ep with Tim Donnelly, where the baby drowns in the bathtub, he said "When the young people today start wearing ties and earning paychecks [meaning the early 70's], marijuana is going to be packaged, taxed, and sold just like tobacco." Gannon said, "I doubt it." Which was right at the time?

Whether or not the professor had the right to expel Friday from his class would probably have depended on whether the institution that Friday was attending was a private or a public university and what that institution's policies were in that regards. Where the professor would have been most vulnerable was with his threat to flunk Friday which would have ended Friday's quest for a master's degree, rather allowing Friday to take an incomplete for the class. And in any case, we should keep in mind that this was back in 1970. Things have evolved quite a bit since that time.

The hippies in the classroom might reflexively regard Norm's POV as something that "pigs" or "fascists" would say but it seems to be a restatement of the writings of distinguished 18th-19th century British economist Thomas Malthus. As Barbara says, Norm has a rather brutal way of putting it. I think that it's more brutal than the way that Malthus himself communicated it. But Barbara's own response to Norm is somewhat incoherent. 8:30 - 8:38

It makes perfect sense on why California does not want ID for voters at the polls. Too many citizens owe traffic fines to the state, and they simply freeze them out from obtaining a license to drive. This way nobody can complain about voting suppression. You have to hand it to the politicians, they will throw you in jail for the unpaid fines, but still kiss your a## for that one day when their job is on the line.
