I labeled it  " Watch out for University reality avoidance group think "
I don't mean to say Paul Monroe,Aarons hero presume, was in this catagory.I know nothing about him and he came along before things got really rediculous.

Aaron,
There is alot to say for a University education.But if you never venture out from within the walls of acedamia and you associate with alot of others doing the same you can get in to a form of group think that can be very much out of step with reality.Its amazing to me some of the really rediculous things that can come from people that are supposed to be highly educated.The citizens of the country pay to support these institutions and instead of getting wise teachers we can get people who are totaly out of touch with reality. I know, had some for proffesors.They were some of the most rediculous people I ever met.And they are supposed to be highly educated?I think it can become a little click of idealistic people who don't even want anyone to express any ideas that don't agree with thier own.
Divergent opinions are suppressed.This is free speach?Far from it.
I am thinking right now one particular proffesor,actually the head of his department.Biggest fool I ever met.We were all just laughing at him he was so rediculous.But if you wanted to graduate from his department you were going to have a really tough time if you didn't accept his nonsense.It was a big eye opener for me.And I was a young liberal at the time.Intelligence and credentials are not the same as wisdom.And then these fools choose to mentor only young people who are willing to think just like them.
I don't mean to say this is all University proffesors.I'm sure you know some good ones.But that it should exist at all in an invirement paid for by taxpayers where the objective we would think should be the open exchange of ideas for the purpose we would hope of obtaining wisdom.
I really believe there are some really subversive people who have way too much influence in education.One would think the negative outcomes of socialism and communism would be pretty clear by now.But not in the ivory towers.

You've been acting strange for several days now.  Stop playing with those little tablets you find in the medicine chest.
