The post itself, titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/08\/why_i_hate_geor.html\" title=\"Why I hate George W. Bush\">Why I hate George W. Bush<\/a>&#8221; after the article I was linking to, sat more or less unnoticed until January, when all of a sudden it started gathering comments. Since then, it&#8217;s turned into a running political debate that doesn&#8217;t look to be ending anytime soon. Some of the comments I&#8217;ve agreed with more than others, but it&#8217;s certainly been interesting to watch the debate bounce back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>Also last August, I ran across an interesting article talking about schools installing security cameras in classrooms, and put up a post titled simply &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2003\/08\/cameras_in_clas.html\" title=\"Cameras in classrooms\">Cameras in classrooms<\/a>&#8220;. Apparently, sometime within the past two weeks, one of the classes at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tequestatrace.net\/index1.htm\" title=\"Tequesta Trace Middle School\">Tequesta Trace Middle School<\/a> in Florida has been assigned a report on this subject, and my post has suddenly become something of a graffiti-ridden &#8216;tag board&#8217; for students who come across my page while doing research for their project. It&#8217;s been mildly entertaining to see the rather incoherent comments pop up on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Weird, the things that suddenly gain a life of their own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been quite amused recently at a couple of older posts that have apparently taken on something of a life of their own over the past few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2040],"tags":[25],"class_list":["post-2342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-website"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2342\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
