Your fan,

Dinner: Celebrate Black History Month with a special menu, 4:30 - 7:30 pm, Harris. x2466

I wonder what the "special menu" is? Don't they know that to serve ethnic foods is to invite stereotyping of people?

I should know because not long ago a local grocery store made the mistake of having some kind of sale in honor of (Black History Month, MLK Day, take your pick) and offered fried chicken as part of the sale.

Geez, you would've thought the KKK was on the march after the local libs and the press got done excoriating them over it.

[Lizavetta]

Not all of them....we've got our eyes on Hillsdale College in Michigan when the time comes.

[yonif]

Its a cooperative - socialist

second, its organized by the far-left Earth House.

[yonif]

Just what I was thinking.

[yonif]

How about Hand to hand combat -- Coast Gaurd vs. all the Lefties at your school?

I would not mind.

Cooking Competition: Dining Services staff will compete in a five-bean, vegetarian competition ......

If you decide to go to this, I'll work with you to get a recipe that can kick their Loud Mouth Liberal Fat A$$! ....LOLOLOL

[GirlShortstop]

...wondered about the rituals performed, prayers said and religious pratices carried out in different religions such as Judaism, Islam, Christainity and Hunduism? Come to 360 Apt 5's "RITUAL NITE"

Ugh. The rituals of the muhammadens would be best *unshared* and delegated to the annals of history!

"Winter Tree Identification: Identifying With a Twig"

Something my DOG can do without any higher education...

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

My kids were homeschooled, mostly self directed.(I am a lucky bastard)

The wife cringed, but on the way home, my youngest was laughing. She had decided halfway through the tour she would go to Eckerd, in St Pete, Florida.

She loves the place. Something about southern gentlemen, I think. Not to mention the weather.

[CharlesThe Hammer]

Fear Not! Be of stout heart! It is not those who seek the truth who should be quaking. It is the scions of liberal orthodoxy who are steaming towards the iceberg. It has been ever thus: Think of all the protectors of geocentrism and "flat-earthers", the backers of scholasticism, "divine right" and "dictatorship of the Proletariat". Be who you are and DARE to say when the Emperor wears no clothes. It is the fools who parrot the PC drivel who will be revealed as false. It will be the herd of silly, infatuated ideologues that plunges into the gorge of inconsequence. The great monolith of intolerant lefist dogma that has ruled American University life for the last 40 years has passed its zenith. Its unwavering and bitter excoriation of America, white men, Western Civilization, capitalism, democratic principles and every decent thing which should, instead, be praised, has clarified its own essence. I call this drek by its name and,so, banish it. It is a lie. And so, you should be happy to have such a big, FAT, juicy target to skewer. Jibe them, satirize them, reveal them, outshout them, laugh in their faces. Our day will come yonif, our day will come.

[Inspectorette]

Brings to mind what a dwarf friend of mine once told me. She said, "You know, a crowded elevator smells different to me than it probably does to you."

Auughh! That poor girl!

[Station 51]

Its a cooperative - socialist

I have a ranch in the Texas Hill Country and an Electrical Co-Op powers it. The price we pay for electricity is the lowest in the nation and we have even received rebates from the electric co-op. When I was a student at the University of Texas I bought my books and supplies at the University Co-Op and would receive a rebate check at the end of the year. While at the University I lived in a Housing Co-Op where the residents owned the house, developed a budget and voted on the amount of rent we had to pay.

Am I a socialist or do I just pay less for goods and services than most other people?

[yonif]

Something my DOG can do without any higher education... LOL LOL

[yonif]

I used the term socialist due to the fact it was the Earth House, who is a leftist organizational community, organized it. They care about the political correctness of everything, even their food.

Sorry for offending you with such a remark.

[Hildy]

AHHH Reefer Madness. I was the President of my Junior Class in High School. As a fundraiser we showed Reefer Madness. I got into so much trouble, they wanted to impeach me!

[Hot Tabasco]

I too feel for you! FWIW, my nephew graduated a number of years ago from Calvin College here in Michigan. OK, so it took him 5 years and lots and lots of penalty minutes (He was on their hockey team) to do so.

I guarantee you the classes and activities you listed would not be offered at Calvin! If you can't stand the odor then get out of the barn!

Another STRONG conservative college to consider is Hillsdale College here in Michigan.......

Best of luck to you!
