I think the subject is very interesting but, of course, it's hard for me to form an opinion on the Ten Points because I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take them seriously or not.
Thanks!

Didn't think you would pick this up. I was wondering when someone would actually bring this up but nobody has yet.
David Horowitz plastered ads in university newspapers around the country on this. Everyone considers him full of hot air though. His ideas do hold a LOT of validity but the guy is out to make money and gain fame and it took people a while for people to understand that. Sadly he presents his ideas in a way to provoke a reaction and dismisses all opposing sides swiftly.
After the ads, before kids realized what he was really about, lots of campus fired up about this with Berkeley being at the head I believe. Several other campuses did not publish the ad and an issue of free speech and censorship arose from it.
He actually spoke at my school and kids saw where his argument was coming from, but he was really harsh. This guy is mean when it comes to someone asking him something that he thinks goes against what he believes. Once again, it's all a part of his desire for wealth and fame and nothing more.
