I read Ward Churchill's 9/11 essay in uni but nothing else. I like what he has to say, but more interesting were the reactions the class had.
This really is the reason I never wanted to be part of any group on campus. People are annoying, and I was worried that if I spent too much time with them I might swing completely to the right.

Remind me to tell you a story about a Harley Davidson when I get home and we hang out.
