Keely,
I really don’t know how to simplify this argument anymore than it already
is. Simply disregarding this as a being "born that way" distinction in no
way deals with the argument. I am talking about groups of people...lets try
this again: NSA students are androids...homosexuals are
homodroids...liberals are fundroids...philosophers are cookydroids...
Tomsee can probably fill in the rest.
U of I graduate!

Your classes in logic and rhetoric seem to have skipped the part about
cohesiveness of argument and consistency of reason, Gabe.
People align themselves with Christ Church and NSA willingly, choosing to
embrace various doctrines and beliefs and eagerly immersing themselves, as
is their right, in a particular culture that has as its only defining
characteristic adherence to those same beliefs and acquiescence to policies
springing from them. Again, this is well within their rights; it is equally
within Aaron's rights to disagree publicly and vehemently with those beliefs
and practices.
This is not, as you might presume, an argument about being "born that way."
That's not relevant. What is relevant is that no one is Black, Jewish, or
homosexual because of an institution or fellowship they've chosen to align
themselves with. I shudder to think that you might be arguing that one's
status as a student at NSA is somehow an identifier of their personhood in
the same way sexuality, race, or religion is. I mean, it's a neat school
and all, but not even the sweater vests and khakis and black disputatio
robes are inherent to the wearer's personhood, dapper as they may be.

Joe,
What if Ament expressed the same criticisms about blacks, homosexuals,or
jews?....Jews are jewdroids...homosexuals are homodroids...blacks are
bladroids... Would you want Aments biased subjectivity participate in the
same sort of decisions? Cheers! Gabe

Is every statement that you and your friends disagree with "irrational"? Is
this an illustration of your level of tolerance, Gary?
Ament voiced his criticisms on this topic prior to the election and, if my
memory serves me well, he gained more votes than ANY other candidate in the
process. Let's stand by the will of the people -- who voted for Ament in
part because of his well-known views on this subject -- whether or not we
agree with their opinions. This is how a democracy functions. Not by trying
to silence critics by any means necessary.

I'm not sure what Doug you are referring to in your post but, when it come
to irrational quotes, let's start with his proclaiming NSA as an "education
free zone." I don't care how rabidly partisan you are on this topic, you
simply can not say that the students at Moscow's finest downtown collage are
not learning anything. If nothing else they're learning that the fair
minded, tolerant, liberal elite in our town, really aren't. (and to be sure
they are learning quite a bit more then that)

This is just plain false. There is nothing in Doug's quotations of Ament to
support this. What is irrational about Ament's comments?
This is all just another example of some folks trying to get things done
through something other than the regular channels, a way of doing things
that got folks like Ament worked up in the first place.

When you have a city council member make as many disparaging remarks about
NSA as citizen Ament has I think that you can safely take the matter out of
the realm of "paranoia" and move it firmly into the real, live problem
column. Getting ones ducks in a row before the council hears the CUP appeal
seems prudent. Ament clearly has an irrational dislike for "androids."
