You'll live.

If this list were moderated it would open itself up to a lawsuit
like America on Line did and get stuck with a lawsuit for
millions. You need to do a little research in case law.

Genocide of peoples and their cultures as well as generalized
ignorance of the whoring of anthropology today to the World Bank
and big business isn't acceptable behavior either, but its becoming
standard operating procedure by those products of the racist, sexist,
and dumbed down environments of American anthropological education.
Also, if what I say about the anthropology department at University
of Colorado/Boulder as well as the soon to fired Dean of Arts and
Sciences who said he couldn't do anything about the return of my
university internet account isn't true, then tell us why do I
have my internet account now?
You need to brush up on your critical thinking.

Originally there wasn't a whole lot mentioned about the civil rights
of any but white males either, but the Bill of Rights has been
seen to have some development since then. Also, learn to research
case law.

I'd sue my university for breach of contract if I were you.

The Nazis made use of such frustrations concerning Jews in the
Frankfurt School.
Its much more fun to seek the warmth of an ignorant mob and wanna-be
vigilanty group.

I think you need to take this up with Hollywood and other such
irresponsible elements in our society. If McCarthy had only
succeeded...

And the knashing of teeth and rending of garments arisen when I
see the presumption of a sissy in your intentions and bleatings
like the other good burgers and sewing circle Pollyannas.
"Tiny band of cohorts?" Get a grip, act like a "man."

I knew you didn't give much thought to what you say or intend.
Maybe if you read Himmler's THE TASKS BEFORE US it will
inspire some backbone in you.

At least you were able to memorize in
English class.
