i get from the messages you are not a fan of Dr. Lawrence Summers. I don't think I care one way or the other on a personal level. In fact I don't think Dr. Summers intentionally mean any harm. But, I think he has some personal attitude problems that he has to pay attention to and make some adjustments. That is for his own sake. He is still a young man and may still be able to do a lot of good. What I don't like about Dr. Summers is what he stands for, in terms of the type of supporters he is attracting. For the most part, IMO, Dr Summers has nothing in common with all those that have just come out of the woodworks to support his "right to free speech". IMO, it has nothing to do with free speech. IMO, these supporters need some excuse to voice immature and inappropriate thoughts. In other words, they need some cover to come out with vile, hateful, and immature thoughts that they wouldn't get away with on their own.
