Chanting "USA" at Football Games is Offensive to Muslims

At least in the view of a dhimmi "University Academic Professional" at the University of Illinois. "Block-I chant portrays 'neither patriotism nor remembrance,'" by David Green, "University Academic Professional," in the Daily Illini, September 15 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):

The vast majority of 9/11 observances in this country cannot be seen as politically neutral events. Implicit in their nature are the notions that lives lost at the World Trade Center are more valuable than lives lost in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and elsewhere; that the motives of the 9/11 attackers had nothing to do with genuine grievances in the Islamic world regarding American imperialism; and that the U.S. has been justified in the subsequent killing of hundreds of thousands in so-called retaliation.

The observance at Saturday's football game was no different. A moment of silence was followed by a military airplane flyover; in between, Block-I students chanted "USA, USA." This was neither patriotism nor remembrance in any justifiable sense, but politicization, militarism, propaganda and bellicosity. The University is a public institution that encompasses the political views of all, not just the most (falsely) "patriotic." Athletic planners should cease such exploitation for political purposes. They might at least consider how most Muslim students, American or otherwise, would respond to this nativist display; or better, Muslims and others that live their lives under the threat of our planes, drones and soldiers....

Never mind the non-Muslims in Muslim countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, and Egypt who are threatened and terrorized by Muslims. That wouldn't fit this "University Academic Professional"'s paradigm.

Banking Mysteries and Other Dark Matters

Dark Matters and Energy

We can confirm the existence of only 4% of the matter/energy in our universe. The other 96% is a mystery to us. Our scientists can only infer the Dark Space through observations of magnetic fields and gravitational forces.
This is similar to watching the parts of a football game that occur between the forty-eight yard lines.
This phenomenon has taught me humility. I hope this characteristic spreads.
How can a CEO earn a salary that is 3,777 times larger than his employee? After a bank CEO writes down 64% of his firm's assets, he collects his eight-figure salary from the bail out money.
He ignores the original purpose of the bail out was to encourage consumer and small business lending. Instead, he fires his employees in their tens of thousands.
The financial wizards developed toxic mortgage instruments with enticingly low interest rates and payment terms. They sold over-priced homes to unqualified customers. When the mortgage reset at a higher interest rate, the monthly payment doubled and the property entered foreclosure. The bank is trying to resell it at a greatly reduced price. What did the bank do to earn ownership?
Ownership of the foreclosed properties should revert to the renters and buyers who occupied them.
