are you implying that stanley fish is right leaning? the only thing i have read by stanley fish are his debates with dinesh d'souza, which act (the debate) makes him a very commendable person indeed. i read a volume titled "there is no such thing as free speech" which espoused a sort of common sense approach to social and legal issues that i found rather reasonable. did i err in my analysis of fish's ideas?
