A great discussion with some sociologists who have studied the phenomenon, not just people whining about it.

    Very apropos in light of the debacle unfolding at the University of Missouri.
    Elevating emotion over rational, reasoned discussion.

      Have you seen the kerfuffle transpiring over at Yale? Yeah, some rational thinking is needed all around.

        Ha! I've seen a headline or two, but since A: it included an "idiot" Ivy League school & B: I didn't need my head exploding/eyes bleeding, I choose to pass. The Missouri issue was practically unavoidable today though....higher education indeed.

          What is scary is that these folks will be running the joint in 30 years. They are willing to trash free speech now, what will they do then?

            I've thought about it too but as I'm raising part of the generation that will come behind them and hopefully clean a little of this mess up, it gives me a sliver of hope.
