    These schools are way too big and impersonal. In the next few years, the effects of the events of this past week will show up in parents' looking at smaller local colleges for their kids. Parents work too hard to get their kids to college to worry about their safety. At least for American parents. Of course, these schools don't worry about money. They are marketing to young people in foreign countries.

    Excellent discussion.

    I wish the bottom 50% of colleges would just wipe out the relationship to the accreditation system. Let people take courses À la la cart. Charge one price for things that sell in the job market and another where it's questionable. nobody's going to care if you went to one of those. One of the problems with this country is you can't develop your human at a fair price. Government schools are worthless. Cut a check to the parents for K-12.

    Israel is going to have to go full medieval on Hezbollah at some point.

    From everything I can tell, Palestinians are run by Hamas and they like it.

    The average Iranian citizen does not like the government there unlike Palestinians.

    This is exactly right. Your typical liberal loves this, and totally defends it. They pay full boat. Anything to make leftism "prosper".
