With the Stockholm Syndrome one doesn't know he turned his allegiance to his captors. Interestingly, the great state of Oregon, home of assisted suicide and still holding out on self-serve gasoline, is almost broke. It might be a place you would like to raise your family, since few would disagree with your politics, or a place to send MJ to school. Sorry you don't get the connection between 98% of the faculty voting Democrat and a lack of diversity. If 98% were old white guys would that help you get the drift. Bill Chris:

What a vast left wing conspiracy theorist you have become!! So now American colleges and universities, ones that people all over the world try to get into, are part of a plot to brainwash students?? You have really outdone yourself this time! I am a college graduate and have a Master's Degree, so I've attended my fair share of college classes. I can honestly say that I had no idea of the political affiliations of my professors. Why would it come up? Why would I care? Are there multitudes of unemployed conservative professors out there looking for work? Come on.... why don't you accept the relatively simple explaination that there are more liberals in academia because more liberals choose to persue careers in academia. It wouldn't fit the conservative view of persecution that you are trying to promote but it's a more likely explaination. Chris Bill,
