They ensure that a disproportionate amount of "ivory tower liberals" dominate the city.
"A few reasons why "Ithaca is the City of Evil":

To make matters worse, the liberals who dominate Ithaca work overtime to impose their ultra liberal agenda on the area children. As the local newspaper recently put it, In most places, youngsters spend their summers camping, or at the mountains or the beach. In Ithaca, they learn how to become social activists.

I went to see Burning Spear there in '87. The day of the concert, Peter Tosh was assassinated. I went to the show that night, and, needless to say, everyone was subdued.
That said, Ithaca is a beautiful city with very nice people. Freeps, do everyone a favor and never spoil this beautiful spot with you presence.

dwell on, all of the persecution they want, the strong arm tactics ... they are one F'ed up messed up bunch. This was the first freeper post I had actually read in full ... yep, "I think I'll go down to the gym and take a shower now."
