Last night I finally blew up when the bastard talked about the Spanish American War and how we had unjustly taken the Philippines from the Spanish. Whatever. I challenged him to look at the the map and tell me if any one of those South Pacific countries was NOT a colony of a major world power (of course he couldn't seeing as how they were all either occupied by the British, Spanish or German). He said it didn't matter...all that mattered was that bigger countries were picking on smaller countries. Blah, blah, blah....trying to equate events of 100+ years ago with events of today really burns me. I f&&&ing despise our college campuses. They're comprised of a bunch of idealistic asses.
On a related note, during one of our many useless political conversations last night, the professor asked the class if we knew who Colin Powell was and this one dimb bulb of a girl said that he was a motivational speaker. Of course, I laughed out loud in a sarcastic tone. I don't think the girl even realized how stupid she sounded. And for the record, I really wish that dumb girl were right...I'd much rather Powell be a motivational speaker than Sec State. :-)
