- I liken the PC situation in the academia to Socrates' Athens after the
- Thirty Tyrants, and I have been forced to employ a portion of his
- method: I'm reluctant to say what I actually think on many issues;
- It seems that in our culture of complaint, we want to rename anything
- unpleasant in the hope that it will go away.

- I pray that the fervor follows in the footsteps of the death of
- McCarthyism - even its staunch advocates will begin to recognize
- the sheer destructiveness it launches upon open and effective
- discourse.
