- I never mentioned Freddy Mercury nor Edward Teller. My comments were
- aimed at a conservative Physics department head who was wasting university
- time and money to export his views to other UA individuals. His politics
- really don't bother me: bigots will always exist. I have a problem, as
- do many people, that individuals employed by the state should not spend
- state money to distribute their opinions (one exception being ELECTED
- OFFICIALS, who we elect, in part, for their opinions.)
