jd> This might be the real reason McCartney feels free to pursue his little
    religious crusade using public facilities; his job is safe, as long as he
    doesn't actually break any laws.

gs> As if CU professors with tenure don't carry out their own little "religious
    crusades". McCartney isn't doing anything different than academicians -- he
    simply refuses to apologize for being what he is. And that really sickens
    some people.

sp> Well, the fact that he is paid more than any professor here, 

  Totally irrelevant. He probably works more, though.

sp> He can't be fired, even tenured profs can although it would take a lot, 

  It's probably much more difficult to get rid of a tenured prof than a foot-
  ball coach.

sp> and this is supposed to be an *EDUCATIONAL* institute might have a lot
    to do with people's problems with him.

  Agreed. Some of what he believes have as little relevance to the purpose of
  the institution as some of the beliefs of these tenured professors. In other
  words, his religious beliefs are as far removed from reality as the prof's
  political beliefs. He doesn't claim to be an educational authority figure,
  however...
