I don't assume anybody made me anything and I'm not trying to make myself anything special. For crying out loud, how can I make it clear? I'm a professor, I've been a conservative since the Reagan years (I'm 50)and I cut my teeth on social conservatism. How am I supposed to act? I see something that concerns me (I don't know you guys from Adam, so, believe me, I'm not assuming anything about you, personally. I'm just raising the possibility, in general, that one could fall in to a trap if they become addicted to street-level militancy.) So I raise questions (in a not so tactful way, again, sorry!!)
That's all I'm about. Period.
Real Transylvanians would never fight the monsters,
they'd engage them in the arena of ideas.
