Re: Skeptic on Apr 6 @~4PMpct

It's good to see you on this thread "Skeptic". I first encountered your commenting when you mentioned that while attending, or maybe post-attendance of, law school you moved from liberal to conservative leanings. You mention herein that this "liberal law school" you taught a course at had "..a significant leftist element,". It does not appear, from the reaction to your class, by the students or faculty, that you were teaching in some extremist left-wing university environment that was, covertly or overtly, doing anything but providing a balanced educational environment without any fringe left or right wing emphasis.

I continue to believe that it is the fanatical-extremist-fringe elements of our society that exist, as the name infers, on the extreme fringes of every political persuasion. As we all are presently experiencing, they are the loudest, the most inconsiderate, the most reckless, and not surprisingly usually the most uninformed in our collective midst. Sadly, in modern parlance, they are presently garnering the most "clicks"; and therefore attracting the attention of the grifters in our society who are competing for ways to monetize these unhinged behaviors, the public good, health, peace, and safety be damned.

I would have absolutely loved to attend that class of yours; I taught Cultural Anthropology for 35 years, so welcome aboard good sir.

As Usual,

EA
