Universities achieved their greatness by challenging conventions, by saying the unsayable, by using creativity and ingenuity to change the status quo for the social good. Some of that is gone now, as intellectual diversity is shunned while skin color diversity is praised. It is a shame. Thank God for competition and institutional diversity."<BR/><BR/>What a wonderfully true statement!<BR/><BR/>I sometimes tell my 14 yr old debater daughter that I'm going to take her to Athens to speak with you for an hour or so while I listen gleefully with an ice cold brewski. I can't get her to read (one of my holy grails) Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom". She's not a LW nut job... sometimes she takes the oppossing side with me and I think she is serious. She's good - got me real mad one night, until she started laughing. She does need a good dose of Veddernomics I believe.<BR/><BR/>Time for me to to do some catch up reading.RWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345147132602206121noreply@blogger.com
