    Congratulations America.....for turning out a bunch of under-educated, over-coddled, teenage mutant dimwits! In addition, here is a shout-out to our national educators for turning out such "low information" buffoons.....

    Let me rephrase that. What prompted you to pick 10% and 90%. The 90% is close to the number of votes that will be cast in favor of one or the other socialist candidates with a probability of higher. the 10%
    is close to the probable number of other than the two leftist candidates in the selection held before the primaries where the party itself is not holding to the winner take all rules (besides they get it later gratis in the general election.) With a point

    'Proposing' as in 'Proposing a theory'. The image I got from your comment was of a world where, say, 10% are non-nihilistic (and 90% are some flavor of nihilist). Some fraction of that 10% produce innovations that allow the other 90+% to exist in comfort, but the fact of their success does not make a dent in the philosophy of the 90% and, since voting cuts across the philosophical spectrum, the 10% can not get their philosophy represented successfully in the political arena.

    Doesn't matter what they are paying. Its the reputation and document on the wall. Its the false pride spoken. If the parents cared, they would investigate the product purchased and the output.
    I was sitting in a hotel bar a long while ago and overhead a discussion: "We look for law students from further south. Ability is acceptable and the cost is much lower. Why should be hire someone from a New England school?"
    Its obvious, you have to fulfill the parent's dreams.

    Of course, when I say "make money" I am referring to creating value that can be traded for value (money?)
    Refer to d'Aconia"s speech at Reardon's dinner party.

    Jan, I am not "proposing" anything as if providing a process. I am stating that modern university students are coddled into thinking that what others think should be their personal guide. The bruises of others should be shared by all.

    You are correct. I am currently working on two different consulting gigs, one for a ground penetrating radar system and the other on the use of antimatter for spacecraft propulsion. I enjoyed teaching but these are fun too. Zero PC in the free market world unlike academia.

    However I believe there are more of you than their are available openings in education thinking of the Hillsdale and that one in Florida. How are jobs in your field in the civilian market where things are actually accomplished. They might be tired of people thinking in PC and unable to do simple math in their head.

    However in thinking it over he does have an axe to grind against the left. And as we found out didn't say what he was reported to have said.

    It was presented that way. It's been done before and one guy does it on a continual basis.Someone had to be hold the Utubecam. The rest they just leave up to Pavlov.

    This should come as no surprise.
    Continuing the process of creating useful idiots started by your favorite progressive president woodie wilson, has created useless idiots.
    I think we all would agree that most liberal colleges are useless and do not even know what is true, valuable or not anymore let alone educate your children to be useful with the ability to critically think on their own.
    This whole process in only 100 years has undone what took evolution millions of years to create...The Mind.

    I saw the video when Fox aired it. . this is the result of the
    incessant progressive drumbeat from the last hundred
    years. . if the "good guys" don't wake up and counter it,
    the nation is doomed. . may be too late. -- j

    I think this was a set up and by that individual and his cameraman.... to show exactly how education is progressing these days, pun inteneded, I would not be surprised to see it done for real as a follow up but only if they can figure out how to word a petition.

    No surprise. Today's newspaper reported 30% of Republicans favor bombing Agrabah (a fictional nation in Disney's Aladdin animation feature film) with 19% of Dems saying they would also do so, but 39% of Dems said they would spare the city.

    Modern education at its best.
