What they're saying

    "the dumbest blog i've ever seen."

    "Get out a little more dude."

    "Is it more conservative to write about Red Bull, spelling errors, or whining about liberal teachers?" -Former contributor

    "a well-kept and activist-orientated blog"-Chris Collins, Seattle Times

    It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

    -Samuel Adams

Magnets attract intolerance

Well, I didn't expect Western to be the most intolerant institution in the world--probably because they are not quite as elitist here as elsewhere...we're just small-fry, you see.

We can start counting our blessings in some cases. The University of Oregon is getting themselves into trouble by banning yellow ribbon car magnets! I really don't think the administration here could even come close to doing that because the magnets are not seen as political symbols as just a goodwill symbols. There are plenty of them around in the parking lot so it won't happen any time soon. I’m sure there are a few who display them and claim it means they want the troops out of Iraq now.

In any case, it seems free-speech is not valued as much elsewhere (read: U of O).
