   If your cut and paste spew is correct, it simply proves that leftwing   
   scumbags in any institution are intolerant of any dissenting opinion and   
   force out anyone who refuses to toe the party line.   
      
   Thanks for providing evidence of your scumminess.

   "You do realize that the people in charge would rather you just die, don't   
   you?   
      
   "Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of   
   all industry and commerce, and when you realize that the entire system is   
   very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the   
   top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression   
   originate."--James A. Garfield, 20th U.S. president, two weeks before he was   
   assassinated in 1881.   
      
   Do you ever get the feeling that 99% of the world's inhabitants suffer from   
   an inescapable need to build ALL of their beliefs on the most easily   
   disproven lies available? - Jim Goad
