Not to you personally but, I'll never understand why people post articles from University newspapers here.

I mean, university newspapers are "just pretend" papers produced by "journalists" who've not yet attempted to exist in the real world where human effort breeds consequence.  

Why not post High School Newspaper articles?

I'd weigh the opinions of the NY Times before any university paper in the US because there's a chance (however small) that a writer at the Times has actually lived in the real world and developed an informed opinion based on experience.

I know what I was like when I was 20.  I know what my friends were like.  Lets not kid ourselves: We all know that the opinions of 20 year olds are basically worthless.

I get your point, but this one was so over-the-top that I had to post it.

My source? The Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web" email digest. If it was good enough for the WSJ, it's certainly good enough for Freepers.

And this guy is no doubt closer to 30 than 20...that is, if he hasn't passed the Big Three-Oh already. Note from the bio above that he's a doctoral candidate and has a long history of AztlaNazi agitation behind him.

HE is a LEFTIST AND POSTMODERN OBFUSCATOR. He says in 1000 words what could be said in 5 "Its the white mans fault".

There are many errors in fact, logic and thought in the essay, but the obscurity of his point makes it hard to even engage a logical debate. (To wit, he pretends that democracy requires citizens AND noncitizens. wrong, but an essential component of marxist thought these days is such a dichotomy - to contruct classism out of every element of complex society ).

Why should you care? IN 5 YEARS HE WILL BE TEACHING THIS CRAP TO FRESHMAN STUDENT SOMEWHERE.
