If one of you nutjob lunatic members pastes anything I've written, I want it removed from your site immediately. Since you refuse to give me the opportunity to respond to the slanderous lies your members spew about me, you have no business claiming you have the right to post the columns.

Next week, students will gather around campus to voice concerns regarding race relations, minority issues and affirmative action.

Isn't this PC'ness gone wild or what??? Now, even...
