We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Two profs suspended for criticizing "Laughing at the Disabled." Moonbattery. The profs made some darn good comments about it all, and so does Van Helsing.
I have faith that this academic idiocy is subject to the pendulum force. I just hope the pendulum comes to a screeching halt right in the middle and doesn't swing to its opposite apogee and linger there for any time. Extremes be gone.
