Know Nothing Party School

How do you decide what college to go to? I went to the one down the road from my parents. It was extremely well regarded then, and is nigh on impossible to get into now but I didn't appreciate it because it was the easy, close, default choice.

We had a rivalry with Ohio State. Only because of their sports teams you understand. Now, years later, I read about the wit and wisdom being visited on those poor kids at Ohio State and I realise how very true the words of the old song are...

From Norm, a link to a myspace entry about Curt Wannegut's chat at that sad college:

"We have people in this country who are richer than whole countries," he says. "They run everything."We have no Democratic Party. It's financed by the same millionaires and billionaires as the Republicans."

Wow! Maybe the kids who are buying the rest of his rhetoric will believe this too and will stay out of politics and not vote. They should just slink off to another wild party with like minded types and disregard any silly ideas like "government by the people for the people".
