[Behind Liberal Lines]

Both the Ithaca Journal editorial staff and uber liberal Assemblyman Martin Luster chime in on issue today, argue against scape-goating and plead for calm in the community.

Of course, this being Ithaca, they don't, however, defend the manager of the grocery store who is being unfairly targeted even though he called the police in the first place. Instead they defend the Democrat Judge who let the attackers go without bail as in essence a "good liberal."

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Ithaca is at/near/through the tipping point where its primary employer, Cornell, will not be able to attract/retain star faculty for want of a decent quality-of-life community.

As it is, the stars concentrate in/near urban areas: NY/Boston/SF and their satellites of Princeton, New Haven, San Jose.

With Ithaca two hours from...Roscoe...what promising academic will want to live in bucolic isolation in the City of Evil?

I will be moving to NY next week, and not too far from there. I have, long ago decided, I will not look for a job in Ithaca.....not for a million dollars.
