Brent,
I for one never used or for that fact use the word hate towards any person. That is purely your take. I simply stated that the majority of professors at these locations are not of like mind to us. You see a far as I can tell we are not looking to make enemies we are simply relating our experiences. You say you have one professor in Chicago you share your passion with. How many Professors do you suppose are located in he greater chicago area? Do you really believe that a majority of them share our passion? And just for the record Chicago is one of my favorite cities and one of the easiest to enjoy. And that comes from a native New Yorker. You are mentioning a small sampling of your contacts and you say that they are disheartened by our view of them, my question would be why don't they and you ( and you may already do this and I applaud you if you do ) work on the people you are incostant contact with and try and help them to see our side ad maybe bring them in line with our beliefs a little more. This will of course result in having our opinion changing and everything being better for eveyone. I know this is simplistic. I think your numbers are still not working out. Yes you know hunters and shooters at each of these schools, like minded people always have a way of finding each other. But I don't believe you have made a strong argument for your premise that a majority of academia is not against us. Yes there are pockets of people on our side but that is all, just pockets.
Once agian just my opinion and experience.
