I Came From A Poor Family, So Working And Going To School At The Same Time Was Natural. It Taught Me Multi-tasking, Although We Didn't Call It That Back Then. I Learned I Could Never Be Idle, I Need To Be Doing Many Things At Once.

The Internet Knows No National Borders.

Well, First Of All, No Professor Should Be Able To Say, I Refuse To Defend My Position. I Refuse To Debate My Position.

I Love To Play. I Love, Opera, Hiking And Museums. The One Thing I Don't Do Is Sit. I Have A Tremendous Amount Of Energy.

When I Was Growing Up, My Mother Would Always Say, 'it Will Go On Your Permanent Record.' There Was No 'permanent Record.' If There Were A 'permanent Record,' I'd Never Be Able To Be A Lawyer. I Was Such A Bum, In Elementary School And High School... There Is A Permanent Record Today And It's Called The Internet.

I Fear That The Impact Of University Censorship And University Denial Of Due Process Will Be To Mis-educate A Generation Of Students Away From Core Values Of Civil Liberties And Constitutional Safeguards. Students Who Have Been Led To Believe By University Administrators And Faculty That Censorship And Denial Of Due Process Are Acceptable Norms Will Be More Susceptible To Accepting Those Norms In Their Post-university Lives. That Would Be A Tragedy For America.
