Sounds like M. Scott Mcallister was held prisoner against his will at Bob Jones University, for four years-then graduated as a bitter old man of perhaps 22 years of age.

Sad case, very sad case......tsk.

Granted, he does not sound thrilled with his college years. However, I am much more concerned about the creeping fascism he denounces than I am with his relish in using his college as a very clear analogy.

He learned a lesson well from those college years anyway, and has made a number of solid points about the fascism that the Bush administration is launching permanently into our land:

Eg: "The volunteer corps of informants will consist of truck drivers, cable installers, plumbers, electricians, mail carriers and other service providers whose jobs give them unique opportunity to observe and report "suspect activities." Informants will be given access to Justice Department hotlines to report the so-called "suspect" activities, and the reports will subsequently be entered into a national database accessible by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. All this in the name of homeland security. This system of civil "snooping" is simply the latest development in a recent trend of government intrusion on our Constitutional rights. The fourth amendment to the United States Constitution states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Despite this very clear declaration of our civil rights Bush and his new baby, the Department of Homeland Security, are seeking an "end-around" approach at obtaining private information about U.S. citizens without the pesky stipulation of probable cause or the red-tape of securing a warrant."
