I wish! Then my reading lists wouldn't be half as long as they are...curse those different viewpoints! [/QUOTE]LOL Shamrock and Stratos [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I think think there might be something in what you say Stratos. If Khazadman had visited a university he may have been exposed to a more diverse opinion of the phrase "diversity of thought" than seems to have been the case up till now
.
Universities and colleges I think do a fair job of dis-indoctrination (if I can invent the word just briefly). They take in students who have often been indoctrinated by their parents as to which of the 2 party system they are meant to be on, and they expose them to different ideas and ways of thinking. In some (but not all) cases, this breaks the programming of parental indoctrination and after thinking over the options, the student decides for him or her self where they want to place their allegiance.
I would argue that people who don't go to university and get all their data feeds from a limited amount of sources are likley to view Uni's as much the way that Khazadman has characterised them. Now that isn't saying that you fall into that data set K, but I can see that there exists out there a data set (let's pick on the repugs to be consistent) of family republicans that quit learnin and start earnin after high school. They are used to getting all their input from the repug sections of the media (say Faux News
) and they are ideally situated to mistrust centres of independant thought.
Just my 2 cents of independant input
