New Registry Item

ALL-PURPOSE LECTURE entitled "Moral Panics." Good all-purpose lecture. This is the lecture I used to carry in my back pocket in case I wasn't prepared for class, and needed to pull something outta my ... back pocket. The lecture spans and pans the many incarnations of moral panics from the Middle Age fear that Jews poisoned public wells, causing the Black Death, to the MacMartin Day School Panic, to the Serial Killer Panic, to the AIDS Panic, to the Pedophile Priest Panic. I'll deliver the lecture in person. Call the kiddies and gather close for some late night reading. It always sent an undergrad or two straight to sleep. Citations included.

  1. Would this be appropriate for a Health Care Town Hall?

  2. Paper edges make excellent toothpicks in a pinch.

  3. If the lecture falls flat, you want me to pick my teeth?
