Excuse me, you _are_ Ruben Safir, right?  This isn't just some
irony-deficient person who's broken into Ruben's e-mail?

So, I'm sorry, if you really _are_ Ruben Safir, I am willing to grant
you the Chutzpahnic of the Year Award for suggesting that _anyone_ else
is trolling and/or writing something driven by vitriol.

Srsly?  You think that a rational response is throwing two unexplained
URLs at me?  This has to be a record achievment for you in laziness
lightly seasoned with arrogance.

Have you ever stopped and considered if there might be some consistent
pattern behind you, by your own account, having been throw off and
banned from every mailing list you've ever been a participant on
(excepting this one and, presumably, the ones you yourself run)?  
Introspection is a difficult thing, but you might want to consider
taking a running leap at it while you're still above ground, sir.

Your lazy ass is provably able to get behind a keyboard.  Sorry, hurling
a pair of URLs out is not a discussion.  Fuck off.

I nonetheless skim-read this time-wasting bullshit.

The long-winded Harvard piece says the Feds are in charge of some
funding sources for schools.  Yeah, we know that.  I already said so,
and that there are actual legal reasons why it's a settled point of law
that funding may not be lawfully used as a bludgeon by an
administration; that there are laws with actual teeth that prevent that,
and that the judges take them seriously.

Article goes on to stress that Federal civil rights law also extends to
Federal action that affects the schools.  Yeah, I already said that.

So, article says what I said, yet you hurl it out as if it were a
rebuttal.

Education Department piece is an anodyne bit of PR fluff that reviews
history and says nothing much -- and nowhere disputes anything I said.

You owe me that time back, bucko.
