Phil: We sometimes agree and more often, we disagree on issues.  On this one I think we're far more in agreement.  I don't feel the University's actions reflect well on the value of both "free speech" and, of equal importance to me, the concepts of understanding, compassion and forgiveness I feel are essential elements of liberalism.  I don't feel the admiinstration's actions reflect liberal values, but rather a perverted orthodoxy more akin to, if you will, the intolerance of the Taliban.  regards and have a great holiday season....Gary Crum
