@TomWellborn That is exaggerating. The issue is more complex and reducing it to "hammers" is childish. /You are 100% right and the analogy works for me but I am anticipating the red hat brigade

@rhsjack @TomWellborn You don't even need the red hat brigade. I'm a card-carrying democrat and I still call bullshit on it.
We don't just "let" people hit others with hammers. There are consequences. That the teacher in this analogy fails to even try enacting any consequences causes the whole rhetorical exercise to collapse.
@TomWellborn I wasn't taking it literally. I was criticizing it as satire. It doesn't hold up to the issue it's satirizing.
@LouisIngenthron @rhsjack
This is a satiracal & sarcastic comparison, not to be taken literally.
