Wendy McElroy essay on the First and Second Amendments
- Thread starter Slowpoke_Rodrigo

Excellent editorial. Unfortunately it will fall on deaf ears and Prof Demming will still be sacrificed.
Not too long ago I was up late and watching TV...don't remember the show but it was after the Letterman/Leno time slot. There was a female stand-up and her whole routine was "vagina". Wierdest damn thing I've heard in awhile...mildly amusing at first, quite tedious at the end.

The best line in the whole essay, IMO is:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>People often wonder why most feminists don't 'get' the Second Amendment. They haven't made it past the First one yet.[/quote]
Everyone male, female, feminist, non-feminist (there is no such word as masculist), etc, who is speaking out against Deming can't get past the First Amendment. He could just as easily have made a reference to Kletter's fist, or foot and made a point in regard to her randomly hitting or kicking someone. That would not have had the same impact as referring to Kletter's vagina, though. This is the whole point of reductio ad absurdum. One would think that in a college setting, more people would understand that.

The university is now a place where old nutso professorial potted plants can turn kids into more nutso potted plants.
Demming's sane. That's what makes him the enemy.
