I get a lunch break, but you guys get to post here all day.
Rich? Retired? Not me.


I work from home, my wife is my boss, and after 20 years,
we still get
along, couldn't be better. Admittedly much of our business
is now
automated, but we spent many a year and hour getting here


I teach at a university in the middle of the state.


What do you teach?


Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional
liberal
arts.


Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!


As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.


Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to
edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our
students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)


And still a political troll post, no matter how you look at it...


It is trolling to mention teaching and academic achievement?


Look out, you've already raised some hairs. Just mentioning higher ed
makes folks nervous around here...


Kool-aid is served year 'round hereabouts.


There really is a strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in this
country, more so than at any other time I can remember. It's too bad
because a dumbed down America will go down the tubes.


You mean "down the tubes" faster. The Chinese are turning out
engineers at 10 times the rate we are, many of them studying at our
universities.


The emergence of this beverage-based group really puts a point on it.
Their candidates don't require a basic knowledge of the constitution,
pivotal supreme court rulings or basic tenets of law. Instead, they
just supply a few common sense-isms, rail on the media, taxes, them
smart folks who got us in all this trouble, and mention the day they
accepted Jesus into their lives as their personal lord and savior.


That's it! You're electable and ready to govern! Yahooo!


Please don't feel obligated to respond. I'm already tainted by the
"liberal" stamp and you can remain above the fray. You should try to
keep it that way as long as possible since you'll have chosen sides
otherwise.


I hope your students help our country rediscover the pride of a
liberal arts education, the ability to leverage well-developed
critical thinking skills, and be of a country that accepts the
responsibility of the social compact between citizens, our obligation
to the state and our country.


Screw the greedy, the globalists and anybody who shops Walmart.
