"I guess I just have a problem with this whole hate sppech/hate crime culture"
I am with you on this. How about treating crime like crime? Hate speech and crime was brought up because some people feel this is the only time anyone should say anything to a college professor who may be a little rogue. I don't think you can draw a line because politics and hate speech are not disjoint entities (throw religion in as well if you want). They are so intertwined, that is would all be subjective. The original hate speech issue came up when I gave an example of a professor at a small college who says she has a solution for the Middle East problems. Another holocaust. Is that hate speech? It's pretty distasteful for damn sure. Who decides if it is hate speech though? It was at a private college so does the gov't have a damn thing to say about it since it doesn't provide funding? Etc. Etc. Etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
