A Tale of Two Opinions

Today's LA Times features this jaw dropping piece of drivel (how do UCLA literature professors become experts on world politics?) followed by this logical common sense article about profiling.

I also loved this anti war letter writer's description of a National guard unit:
"conscriped into an unjustified war outsourced to corporate political contributors in noncompetitive bidding by a dishonest government violating international law and justifying the use of torture".

Please. . . you can come up for air now!!!!!!!!!!!

That same prof also co-edited Marxism Beyond Marxism, "a collection of essays that critically rethinks Marxism at time when its practice and theory has been seemingly taken to task by the events in 1989 in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union." The book apparently offers "a vigorous and compelling case for Marxism's continued relevance."

Just another entry in my "Why I Don't Tell People I Teach English" file...
