Right on! I just had to express my feelings. Although I am not liberal, and not conservative, living in very liberal Massachusetts, where everything must be politically correct, can really bug me sometimes.
You guys have no idea how bad Amherst is/was about protesting and political correctness.
For example: The United Nations flag flies on the Amherst Town Common OVER the American flag! I complained with many others but nothing is done.
Every weekend, and I mean EVERY weekend, there is a protest of 25-100 people on the town common. The amazing thing is it is usually the same people, but each week the issue changes: War, Bush, Gay Marriage, Health Care, etc.
Amherst public highschool banned a play performance of Westside Story because it was racist, but allowed the Vagina Monologues to be performed by it's high school students!
There was an article in the Daily Collegian saying what a coward and idiot the football player that died in Iraq was.
The Umass-Amherst library is named after W.E.B. DuBois, a well known communist.
The list goes on and on...
Some of the incidents I have seen are outright amusing, and others have caused me serious concern about the direction that some people want to take this country.
Anyways, I'll try to remember some others.
