| #8 The author of this article, Norman Levitt, is a World Class observer, etymologist, and analyst. That's he's hysterically funny, dry as the desert, and a wicked Grandmaster of the deadly lampoon places this piece on the must-read list of every thinking American. A vanishingly small elite group of anti-elitists, lol. It's nothing short of a Masterpiece. Lol, as with all of the writings I've encountered that I'd place into that category, I'll have to read it several times. Sheesh, tipper, I didn't expect homework on a Tuesday. lol. Thx for the post - awesome find. |

| #7 Sounds exactly like at mine...I suppose thats what I get for going to a liberal university. "There is no authority who can go beyond clichés to point to actual practice or to other evidence of a genuinely shared ethos." Well, actually, there is. Its called friday night drinking and the saturday football game. When much of the campus gets together and acts like idiots. #1 party school....I'm so proud. |

| #6 The OU issue was just a misunderstanding. Someone circulated a copy of the EU constitution and everyone got confused. |

| #3 When the time for purging comes, it needs to start in the world of Academics first. The tipping point has moved a little closer. Beanie |

| #2 Cultural competence as defined by arrogant academics forcing their viewpoint on the rest of the world - why? Because they know best! Cultural competence = enforced multi-culturism |
