What on the Alumni sight is called "proof of an increasingly radical faculty" might actually be proof of an increasingly corrupt government.

One book I read over winter break called "The wisdom of crowds" had one section where it spoke of the intelligence of varied vs non-varied groups. It seems people who share similar opinions get into something called group think, and actually end up being dumb in comparison to a varied group of people, even if many of those are not so smart. In fact it talked of experiments that showed the more varied a group is, the more intelligent it is. Go figure!

Hopefully, these targeting tactics wont scare away students from following the inclination of their thought. Following that curious bird of the brain is one of the greatest joys in life, especially among educated circles.

It is a shameful thing that the"Target of the week" is someone who has not taken class time to share his arguments of thought, but instead just writes about them? I don't see any problem with that.

Hopefully, during class time, the students with their little microphones waiting for some red talk will be less of a distraction from learning then the opinions of the Target-of-the-week.

This explains the tremendous power of the FreeRepublic collective mind. Conservatives are a more diverse group than leftists.
