		<description>Kudos to you, Jon! Glad to see that, after 3 centuries, the Enlightenment might actually dawn over our USU campus. Dare I hold my breath?

Coincidentally, my department head recently berated me for including in the footer of my web pages a &quot;Scarlet Letter&quot; link to Richard Dawkin&#039;s Out Campaign. Apparently a student complained to him, so he let me know in no uncertain terms that it was inappropriate and highly offensive. Sigh....

Consequently, the link is gone, but I nonetheless still display the &quot;A&quot; on those pages with pride --in case anyone asks. After all, I always have to look at the students&#039; CTR rings and scriptures. I don&#039;t see why I shouldn&#039;t have the same right to come OUT of the --gasp!-- heretic closet.

Keep up the good work!</description>
