That's simply wrong!

It's all so hyperbolic.<br /><br />Cyc -- I think the school did too.

Though I am a bit concerned that requiring check ins to use the machine might lower the willingness of some to use it.<br /><br />But I can certainly see the reasoning behind it. Both from a political standpoint of trying to assuage dissenting voices, add privacy of use (can you imagine trying to use such a machine with protestors standing around bullying?) or to prevent vandalism by right wing bigots.<br /><br />I wish the situation would allow for such things to be out in the open without fear of reprisal, but sadly that is not the case. That being considered, I believe the university thought this through quite well.Cychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868327628332973993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-46864255726395700372012-02-08T05:21:41.522-05:002012-02-08T05:21:41.522-05:00I notice these rightwingers can't have a reaso...I notice these rightwingers can't have a reasonable debate.
