#1 UC Berkeley's a fine example of what happens when there aren't any consequences to any action, no matter how stoopid. Unless you regard widespread revulsion as a consequence.

#2 Amen, Fred. UCB finally quit sending me appeals for contributions to the U, as an alumunus, after I wrote a fire and brimstone scathing letter of what I thought the U had become. I guess they got the message because there are no more calls and no more mail. Pfui! A pox, a proletarian pox upon their body politic! Man, they get my BP up. Steve White, I need your help...........

#3 Someone needs to start heckling the high-and-mighty idiots that inhabit academia. Hit them every day with the truth distilled from their lofty, far-left stupidity. Tell the entire world exactly what that putrid filth boils down to, in black and white - with links, documented evidence, and a strong dose of reality. I'd bet that enrollment in those "prestigious" universities would suffer a nasty drop, kinda like French tourism.

AP, just sit down quietly in a dark room, and consider 10 million Ronald Reagan clones... 8^)

#5 Market forces would be nice if every kid in Californica wasn't brainwashed into trying to apply....I think if a "hell no, I won't go" program, aimed at the dumb$!!ts in liberal academia, you might see some more mainstream schools start to prosper. Problem is the east coast liberal academia are the ones who determine which schools are "the best" I personnaly think these "best schools" lists should be revised to "most liberal".

If you wonder where all of the brain fried Haight Asbury types from the 60's went, all you have to do is go to the nearest faculty lounge and you will find all of the old hippies sitting around.
