So pleased to read this

I was so pleased to read this wonderfully sane short conversation. I despair of the universities in Australia and much of their leftist superiority derives from the universities of the USA. The university teachers I know here are certainly afraid to disagree with the radical trend. Yet they, more than anyone else, are being born back ceaselessly into the past. Thanks, Peter Edgar
