My education was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Although I only drifted into the Communications major, I feel like I would have chosen to be there anyway. The best thing was how blatantly biased the curriculum was toward socialist theory. To me these theory seem to be the most favorable AVAILABLE, although something better may be in the works. It has come to the point where I hardly KNOW anyone who does not have some form of socialist beliefs. The libertarian guy at work is offended by the vague sent of socialism I supposedly waft around the office. He is a fervent capitalist yet we agree on most everything else. How is this possible? He believes in pure capitalism, freedom of trade. I say, why does such a largly governing principle have to based on trade. It could be based on anything. His pet, capitalism, directly supports the system of inequality on this planet and yet he is the one getting a raw deal spending the last three years as a disgruntled temp. I appreciate him though, for being one of the only people I know who is a proponent of capitalism. I think his ideas are wack, but I appreciate him.
