SIMON SAYS | 2005-12-11
You know, it's odd to use the words in the title in something besides the children's game.
Anyway, Simon says,
"I don't understand? If an university is anti-semitic, my guess is that they don't want Israel to exist (I don't know if they ever have published articles writing this, but let's assume they do). Now ADL/Sharon wants the university to shut down. Bob seems to think that it is ok for a university to react, but if Israelites are reacting it is suddenly wrong??! I hereby deny Bob the right to react on my post."
Simon has forbidden me to react to his post. Naturally I will honor his wishes. You have my word as a person who has spent his entire career in politics.
In other words, I lied like a dog.
But Simon's point is correct. Under our established relgiion of Political Correctness one of the thuosand or so Commandments is, "Thous shalt never argue if somebody calls you an anti-Semite."
But I (and I suspect Simon) still adhere to the old religion, which says you have a right to react to anwer any insult.
It's a shame, all that missionary work at public expense and we still haven't been converted.
