That's my point -- why would an official MIT website link to a page 
with the stuff I pointed out?  For the sake of brevity, I didn't point 
out that the page in question has a link for "Boston Critical Mass" -- 
a pro-_bicycle_ civil disobedience group?!

Again, exactly the point.  I don't see the MIT front page link to any 
anti-tax pages on April 15th.  If MIT wants to be apolitical, it should 
do so consistently; I don't like my tuition money being spend on 
leftist nonsense without getting equal play.

And you don't when Aimee Smith sends messages about every leftist 
rally, sit-in and protest?


Cheers,
