As a Bostonian for almost 20

As a Bostonian for almost 20 years, I have to take exception to that last disparaging comment about old Beantown. We "rude, racist, stupid" residents voted in same-sex marriage and statewide universal health care! California put Arnold Schwarzenegger into office!

I'm also connected with MIT, so I speak with experience when I say that some of the most benighted, intolerant, hypocritical, narrow-minded people I have ever met are these university intellectuals that Anonymous speaks of. The tone of Anonymous's comment is typical of many students, secure in their immature convictions, who categorize and pass judgement summarily on others without any forethought, compassion, or attempt at understanding.

Why can't universities teach shades of grey rather than black and white? This is the kind of thinking that got Star in trouble in the first place!
