I personally found it gratifying that Professor Wolf and other protestors expressed wonderment over the lack of activism on campus during Chief Justice Roberts visit. It tickled me that, in the typical condecension of his ilk, Wolf has convinced himself that if everyone truly understood the issue, they'd be right along side him. Professor, I don't know if you are naive, or just misguided. I do know however, that you've made my day!

First, Chief Justice Roberts violated ethical standards and compromised objectivity by not recusing himself from the Bong Hits case. Roberts worked for Ken Starr for fifteen years and they were personal friends and to say that did not influence his judgment on the case would insult one's intelligence.

American University students continue to sit in apathetic silence while our Bill of Rights have been totally dismantled. It is like history repeating itself. Hitler dismantled the German peoples civil liberties with the Enabling Act after an alleged attack by foreign terrorists- the Reichstagg fire. Bush has used the September 11th terorist attack to establish the Patriot Act which is the greatest assault on American individual liberties in the history of our nation. The American people have forgotten the wisdom of founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin who both advised in a little different wording that "anyone who trades freedom for security deserve neither". The American people have reached a level of individual freedom unknown to any previous civilization and now the American people sit in apathetic silence while a a moronic retard President, George Bush, dismantles all the freedoms our founding fathers believed in above all else! History will not be kind to the existing generation of the sheep herd mentality that sat by and did nothing while a misguided and ignorant President destroyed our civil liberties. At least the 60's generation had a voice and it was heard loudly nationwide. It is a national disgrace that students did not support the professor's protest in masse. The American people sit is apathetic silence, almost like a coma, while we are being lead down the road to Facism in much the same way as the German experience. The current generations conformity to the uniform non thinking herd mentality will have grave consequences for the future of America. These spinless non caring sheep have chosen their destiny, have they not?
