In my humble opinion, this Singer character is nothing more or nothing less
than a Rush Limbaugh dressed up in Professor's clothing. No doubt, he
(appears at very least) to be of a Nazi mindset. I think, however, that as
much he is just capitalizing-as is Princeton-on an otherwise very sick mind.
He's found the right buttons to push to make a big name for himself-and for
Princeton-and they are all laughing all the way to the bank. The scary
thing for me is that like Rush Limbaugh and late night Saturday
wrestling-each icons of American fakery and exploit-ism-the American public
and the World too are waiting with baited breath to hear and possibly absorb
this idiot's vile and dangerous rhetoric. As alarming as Singer himself is,
I find Princeton to be equally irresponsible. Is it my imagination or is
this just another time bomb waiting to explode? How long before the T.V.
news magazines will have a hay day cashing in on the violence and
"terrorism" that mysteriously took place on the Princeton campus? How much
damage will this guy do between now and then?
Sorry for having no answers for idiots like Singer and the even bigger
idiots that give him an iota of credibility. I was just compelled, however,
to share my take on this very sick individual. For what it may be worth, I
plan to give him no more credibility than Rush or Saturday night wrestling.
I do, however, plan to watch him like a hawk.

I was unable to hear last night's transmission, and am grateful for the
reports that have been published on this page.
I just don't get it. I've read this guy's stuff, and gone back to it again
and again, to see if I'd missed something that made other people take him
seriously. And yes, I think Phyllis is right -- he's slick. I wonder if
that isn't the reason for his success. His discussion of ethics is, at
face value, much more accessible than that of other writers (ok, in itself,
