If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.”<br />― H. L.

The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure.” <br /> ― H.L.

Ironically, one said college I worked at was less than five miles from the international district of the city. You know the district, the one most recent immigrants flock to. The one with hundreds of potential students that would add "diversity". But these potential students would pay in-state tuition or financial aid. Bringing in the international students brings in out of state tuition, instant cash. (Larger amounts of money per student and/or no waiting for the government to release the money to the school). Its all a scam Doom, all a scam.MustySyphonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441773804282093404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491174673971804494.post-89248333910783141982020-01-03T20:35:30.074-08:002020-01-03T20:35:30.074-08:00I'll be looking more closely at a converged sc...I'll be looking more closely at a converged school next post...but there are many now.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04528555392898760692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491174673971804494.post-3165957171350700922020-01-03T12:41:02.986-08:002020-01-03T12:41:02.986-08:00Check the University of Michigan and it's Host...Check the University of Michigan and it's Host City Ann Arbor Michigan to see the complete SJW takeover in play, a 5-year, $85 million Strategic Plan to accomplish..what now? $85 million for words...<br /><br />https://diversity.umich.edu/strategic-plan/<br /><br />https://www.michigandaily.com/section/news/university-launches-diversity-strategic-plan-after-year-planningJames Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16304391889015990447noreply@blogger.com
