you know Louis, that tenure and job security protects
incompetence and laziness among the few. But it also protects
those of us who chose to attack the orthodoxy and the mainstream

my life writing and researching in support of labour and left-wing
organizations. What allowed me to do this was the institution of
tenure. Why would you deny us intellectural and occupational
freadom?
