"Patriotism," a wise man once observed, "is the last refuge of scoundrels."

I hadn't heard about this until I saw it on ircspy.com
Apparently a University professor from the University of Colorado might lose his job because of an essay he wrote in 2001 that compares America to Nazi Germany.
You can find it here (it's near the bottom)

few brief interesting points: People that flew the planes were neither extremists or religious fanatics. The pentagon and WTC are fair military targets, thus the people inside these two structures were not innocent civilians. The complete lack of ability historically demonstrated by the CIA, FBI, pentagon, and all other "Intelligence Gathering" agency.

The essay is highly critical of America and is well worth the read. Scratch that ITS A FUCKING GREAT ESSAY. Beautiful just written in a stream of conscious, full of passion, character, and conviction.
It is good to see that objective opinion still exists in American Universities, however apparently it will most likely lead to the loss of your job. I'm hoping this item will make headlines in the American media..... most likely not.
