"I am already planning a number of programs for next semester to expand the knowledge at Cornell about transgender and intersex issues," Kagan said, citing some specific programs that could be brought to Cornell in order to address these topics.
This is why I'm claiming that the largest cost to the people of the United States, is the "expansion" --- the "federally funded" "university system," from which we are supposed to be receiving real gains, things that work, tools that improve the net worth and state of living ... little of which we receive, rather, that what we get is "the dialog" and self-actualizationally self-empowerment political moments that are legendary in the non-productive state of mind where socialists are lost.
What in the above quote, is the widget that is produced in exchange for cash to be used for food, clothing, and shelter?
Ans.: There is no widget.
Rather, there is only paperwork that is filled out sufficient to evoke a check from government with which to "move forward" toward evermore "progressive" non-productivity ... that is, federally subsidized leisure.
Yes ... yes ... yes ... filling out forms and attending numerous meetings of this and that and those committees is "work," for socialists (especially the socialists against industry and science, but who cannot get through the day without the Internet and cell phone).
Oh! The humanity [optional: humanities]!
In the name of humanity, funding inhumanities that belittle man and woman and family, by creating more burdens, such as "you must, in college, and in high school, and in junior high school, and in elementary school, and in kindegarten, and from the crip ... search for your sexual identity."
"You must question the authority of white, male, self-determined, self-disciplined, Christian, individuals ... but you must not question all else, including [identifying] your own headlong rush to be judgmental about everybody else but yourself, who of course, is "innocent," because you are "clean" by "consensus" that you have committed no effort against the furtherance of human suffering under left-wing absolutism.
Pondering one's actions, that is in the mirror, for those who can see their reflection.
For the devil, there is no reflection.
Leftists make work, they don't do work, they don't create jobs; and they do not "redistribute the burdens and benefits of society."
Leftists contribute one thing: burdens. Take any work load (except their "load of ____"), and they will add to it.
When the point of research at university, is to reduce, and thus improve our productive efficiency, the amount of work necessary for a work load.
While the purpose, in the above quote, is to create a bigger pile and tax everybody else for it.
What is going on at university, to put food on the table, in an ever-tightening economy?
Shall we feather the ivy nest while real working people in the private (narrowing) sector, actually work at trying to get a real jobs where real work is available?
The university system should be cut off from federal funds.
6-figure professors et al, "suffering" from "publish or perish," raking in billions, and among or ranking them, the administrators ... producing what?
It's simply an enormous printing press, publishing "the dialog," "making" "the literature."
Referred to for the improvement of what?
Is your fresh water well pump in trouble?
The university can fix it for $2,000,000.
snopercod can fix it for $500.
To wit: What the federally-funded university system manufactures, is multi-million dollar hammers, that are by their design, impractical burdens upon the people who are stuck with making the darned things do real work.
Remember, a camel is a horse designed by a committee.
This posting should have included a MEGA-BARF ALERT! what rubbish.
When will the pain stop. Recently scattered my mothers ashes on campus. Maybe she'll haunt these people out of there.
ROTFL!!!!!
Now with additional lanes!
All freepers should know by now: the words "Cornell" or "Ithaca" translate to "barf alert" everytime.
