    Default The List of Idiots Grows

    I cherish our Freedom of Speech. But what the hell ever happened to common sense?

    As a university, we defend the principles of free speech and of academic freedom. However, we deplore the example Levasseur sets for our students and the University community.”

    What could this guy possibly share with the students that would benefit them in their education? This is a an insult to everyone that has served protecting this country. As a felon I do believe his right to free speech is, or should be abridged since his actions declared his hate for our system of government and freedoms. And since when have we embraced terrorists?

    It's no longer common.
    What concerns me is that in all this extreme PC-ness we're slowly teaching young kids to in fact think & act against common sense.

    Wow, one more reason not to live in Mass. Yeah, Pal hit it on the head. He gave up his freedom a while ago with his actions. Notice that it is always the ACLU that is behind it.

    Their Alumni needs to teach them about freedom of choice.....as in who they donate money to.

    ..and then the students need to teach them that they have the freedom to leave, and not listen to that crap.

    Does it really suprise anybody that a convicted bomber would be asked to speak at a university? Heck - they've got another one teaching at one of our universities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers

    How better to infiltrate an organization than to join it, probably sponsored by someone who feels the same way. Free speech ain't free, political correctness is crap, and I am living in la la land if I think common sense will ever prevail in our courts or government again.

    You will never know what he has to say if you censor him. You have no idea what he's learned of himself and life itself during 18 years of prison. You have no idea what, why or even how he bombed. He most likely had nothing to do with the deaths of those officers. And if you think that he's guilty by association then the 9/11 terrorists are justified as well. YOU are all guilty of all the atrocities the U.S. has, is and will continue to perpetrate and support globally, just most obviously now in the middle east (2 million dead as a direct result of the invasion and occupation in a new study just released) What about the people who need to be protected from this country? Or even the environment? We're over seas protecting our "national interests" which means keeping up the american way of life (corporate control of resources and propping up imperialism globally with the IMF and the WTO) and destruction of the environment. I believe you all realize this, which is why we are in a wilderness survival form i'd say, for post-civilization survival. Thinking and feeling people will never hide behind a shallow form of nationalism, the bloody flag, and ignore what is happening to this world. The only world we have by the way, our only life support system. The list of idiots does grow every time someone will not listen to the other side of the story and understand what would cause someone to resort to dramatic action to bring attention to other atrocities. YOU ARE ALL GUILTY. And I am guilty.

    Ya know Overzealot - this is the point where I usually invite people to introduce themselves. I think I'll pass on that this time around.

    It isn't about any flag...you came on this post with inflammatory comments against what I stand for period. I disagree with you. Not any question it is a fact. As for me getting hurt???? Very unlikely!

    Since you are not surprised, let me ask. Do you get similar reactions often? You walk into a strange room filled with people that you don't know at toss out insulting innuendos. What do you expect? Obviously that open mindedness that you claim to have ceases when you respond to criticism.

    It's difficult for most to come into adversity. You will not survive in the wilderness not dealing with adversity.

    You are also not the type I'd walk up to and introduce myself to, but these dialogues are important, especially between differing opinions and especially for you who fear it most.
    Let's not forget the 23 million natives of this land who died for our ignorance and pride. Now they're tucked away still on little reservations, our dirty little secret swept under the rug. When they fought back we called them savages and wiped them off the earth almost entirely. Have you ever been to a reservation?

    Nice to meet you as well, and try to keep that flag away from your eyes.
