And the first White Wizard (saruman) was evil. Its funny these people just look for the bad and ignore stuff that nullifies their argument completely.

People who write such articles have no right to live because I find their existence politically incorrect.

One thing everyone should keep in mind is that Tolkien grew up in an era when the British Colonial Empire was at its peak. It would have been quite natural for him to consider non Europeans to be inferior. For me Tolkien was creating fantasy for British school boys, as an Asian I never really connect with the story now, William Golding's Lords of the Flies was a more realistic tale.

What Part of 'Shall Make No Law ...' Do They Not Understand?

Lawmakers in Arizona want to pass a law forbidding college professors from spreading comments that are deemed "inflammatory" or "offensive" toward minorities via campus computers, reports the Arizona Republic.

Democratic state Rep. Steve Gallardo said he believes intellectual liberty is important, but that hate isn't protected under the U.S. Constitution. He wants professors that don?t toe the multi-culti line to be dismissed.

Gallardo is irked that Glendale Community College math professor Walter Kehowski had the nerve to call some Latino students racist following a Dia de la Raza celebration in October. Following the event, he sent out a campus-wide e-mail saying that ethnic groups should be assimilated into society and that activists are using ethnic pride as an excuse for separatism.

That guy should study history a bit better. Hate is exactly what is protected under the constitution. The reason why we have free speech is because gov'ts always told us what we could and could not say. If we didn't like something, we couldn't say it because they would throw us in jail. Same think is happening now :|

As odd as it sounds, there's nothing more American than a group of multi-racial Police officers protecting the KKK while they protest. That's what the country was supposed to be about. That's not to say that you shouldn't suffer reprecussions for extremism, but everyone is supposed to have their say. I think we're starting to see the start of a backlash against this type of ignorance. The majority is now being led minority (not being used in terms of skin color or ethnicity). The few people who complain about something get their way and the majority are left to adapt to their demands. This will come to an end in the coming years. As it stands right now, I feel compelled to sue my employer for refraining from using the word Christmas at all. It unfairly eliminates the beliefs of the many. It basically amounts to censorship in the work place.
