		<description><![CDATA[“The discussion—to feature supporters but no opponents of the Boycott” sounds like leftie tolerance. 
“And it will represent all points of view as long as they involve boycotting Israel.” All points ???
 “It simplifies things when you can skip past the debate stage straight to the “How do we attack Israel?” stage.”-FP.       Ah, that makes it easy, wrong, but easy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why doesn&#039;t the MLA protest the Chinese Communist occupation of Tibet and the ongoing cultural and ethnic genocide of the Tibetan people? Tibet, unlike so-called &quot;Palestine&quot; (which was a &quot;nation&quot; created by the Soviet Union through the KGB and Soviet allies like Nasser&#039;s Egypt in order to discredit Israel&#039;s right to exist), was a sovereign country with its own language, its own culture, its own religion, and most importantly, its own ethnicity. Unlike the so-called &quot;Palestinians&quot;, Tibetans do not engage in terrorism. Why doesn&#039;t the MLA protest against the genocide against black African Christians in Sudan at the hands of the racist, sexist, Islamist apartheid regime in that country? The MLA doesn&#039;t condemn either regime for their respective atrocities because the MLA, like many of the so-called &quot;scholarly&quot; organizations in this country, has been taken over by the radical left and their Islamist allies. This just shows how much power the radical left and radical Islam have in academia.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember the English prof in college said the MLA was very important in setting standards for the English Language.  They were it.

&quot;The Modern Language Association promotes quality reading, writing, ... academic writing easier to understand nationwide, this organization recommends a standard format for documenting sources. MLA format also does the important work of ... Training for English Teachers&quot;

***

At the time this was taken as gospel. There was no problem.  Now I see the MLA fiddles with English standards such as the use of commas (I read about 10 years how the MLA changed decades old standards on comma usage.  I can&#039;t find the story, but I remember it.) like generals fidget with uniforms for no good reason other than to justify their position.  Seriously, when generals fiddle with the orientation of rank insignia on collars twice in 6 months, you have to wonder about their competence.

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/writing/mla-punctuation-british-english-605114.html

These people cannot set good standards for English and they involve themselves in politics.  In college i saw these people as authorities. it was a given.  Now i see them for the venal people they are.

I&#039;m sure it would be heartfelt.]]></description>
