Would you back Chris knight...?

For those who aren`t aware, Chris Knight (Google the item) is a professor who has been suspended from his University for speaking out against the fat-cat bankers who have got us all into this desperate mess - which is gonna take us half a lifetime to pay back `our` borrowings.

He was organizing protests at this coming G20 meeting in London.

I say back this guy, who isn`t afraid to speak up strongly and in no uncertain terms. God knows, we need a few more like him. There is simply too much smugness at the top, among our leaders.

    Sorry... as much as I like to hear about fiscal conservatives in universities (Lord knows there aren't enough of them), it is not the place of professors to spew their political ideologies. They should be teaching people to OBJECTIVE THINK about political ideologies, but that is about all.

    That is what is wrong with our country now. We have all these liberal professors spewing all this BS (as someone with a minor in sociology, I can attest to this) I saw it up close and personal.

    I thought people were entitled to free speech in the USA but maybe it doesn't apply to academics. Someone who exercises free speech is not necessarily a socialist as someone seems to think. Instead of calling people names, disprove the argument that the financial system and those that ran it caused the current world wide recession.
