bye bye academic freedom <p></p><i></i>

Yes, "bye bye" without so much of a whimper of protest from the millions of "academics"--what a sham. You'd think they could get off their richly upholstered backends and maybe even actually get a sentence or two out in trying to save it? Or maybe even spend half an hour looking at the mountain of incriminating evidence indicating gov. involvement in 9-11. Worthless shills...if this is what our much touted "good life" has created in "intellectuals" then they all deserve the camps. <p></p><i></i>

Hi GC--Yeah truth about 9-11 is a real deal breaker. My sister is a proff. at Suny and her academic dean was demoted for just such an offence. That sort of stopped her from "truthing" in public. Creeps. <p></p><i></i>

DBD<br><br>How likely is it that there was a 'student' planted in his class to ask him leading questions re 9/11? One conspiracy begets another, eh?<br><br>gc <p></p><i></i>

BYU..let's see, did you ever read a "Wrinkle In Time" - kids bouncing a ball on the drive way in synch (am i remebering that right?)..<br><br>i spent some time on that campus (friends there) in the late '80s early '90s. everyone is white, shorts and skirts below the knees, hair on men not below the ears, men - no ear rings, coca-cola vending machines: caffeine free, homosexuality with a decidely draconian "don't ask, don't tell policy"..a shared religon and culture to an extremely homogenous extent.<br><br>..the point, the numbers probably favor some number of antendees to Dr. Jones classroom reacting unfavorably to information that might crack their - as philosophers call - theory of reality..<br><br>my own background leads me to tend to support Dr. Jones from what I've followed. i'm following his story with interest. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=yablonsky>yablonsky</A> at: 9/13/06 12:54 am<br></i>

then again, my understanding is that the FBI and other intelligence concerns just love the Wasatch Valley for recruiting prospects..<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
