those delusional professors

["Ian Murray" <seamus2001@xxxxxxxxx>]

[from the letters to the editor section of the Seattle
P-I]

Just because professor says it doesn't make it true

Although I know that Thursday letter writer Ruth Yarrow
is in the tiny minority, as is the writer of the
article that told us that an academic believes that
4,050 have been killed by our bombs in Afghanistan,
these are very disturbing thought processes.

No one should take the word of academics these days,
even though they deny that they are anything but
objective and lacking of any agenda. Universities are
extremely left-wing and socialist, and anyone not
seeing that and taking the word of an academic who has
absolutely nothing to support his or her numbers needs
to take a look at herself.

Beyond that, perhaps academics and those who believe
them should ask the United States to plead insanity
when this country is prosecuted for "crimes" in the
International Court of Extreme Left Justice, because
this government would have to be nuts to
indiscriminately bomb anybody and allow thousands of
civilians to die. I plead for people to recognize that
universities are bastions of bizarre, delusional
thought processes, and we should do anything but take
what an academic spouts to be the automatic truth. I'm
deeply ashamed that this paper would do just that.
