It had the whiff of parody. Psychologists dissecting the conservative

A press release from UC Berkeley

UC Berkeley, eh? Not worth reading then.

Where did you graduate from? Anyplace with nearly the distinction of
UC Berkeley? Or DID you graduate?

BSME 1993 Purdue University (I took the EIT...does that make me an
"engineer"?)

Uh, no, it makes you an EIT.

DDS 1999 Indiana University School of Dentistry.


*You* decide if Purdue's Mechanical Engineering program qualifies as "near
the distinction" of Berkeley.

Purdue is a fine school. I have a fellow engineer who is a Purdue
grad. He also took grad classes at Berkeley. Why? better classes for
his particular interests. Now, please show how Purdue is a better
school than Berkeley. And Indiana U. is not even in the running!

No one said that he was an *ethical* engineer... grin

You better be careful or he will threaten to beat you into a pulp.

When at home he's probably too busy tending to his plants to post .

Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4 left-wing
liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology"
Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way.

Ranks 45th in what way? Number of students enrolled? Percentage of
successful job placements? Did they compare it to schools whose purpose is
equivalent? Some psych programs are primarily aimed at clinical
specializations. Others focus more on research. Who ranked Berkeley?

Perhaps he is capable of multitasking, and typing fast (a lost art).

You bring up a good point. The reason for term limits is so that no one
can "monopolize" the government for longer than their term limit. This
is supposedly done so that someone cannot be "corrupted" by years of
accumulated political "connections", and the overwhelming tendancy
toward favoratism, that these "connections" often lead to.

Opponents bring up the cases where we get a (increasingly rare)
politician, who becomes polpular, and his policies are effective and
positive for our society. The "he's doing a great job, why should he be
forced to step down" scenario. If we, the citizens, are doing our civic
duty, and making responsible choices, and the system is relatively free
of corruption and "dirty" tricks, in theory we would be able to remove
those who are not doing a good job. The problem is that most of the
people who even bother to vote, are often not the most informed people,
and they decide their vote based on superficial "qualities", and the
sound byte issues that are spoon fed to them.

I guess what term limits really mean, is that we don't trust our own
system to take care of itself, and that we need an additional "safety
valve".

There was no grammatical reason for placing quotation marks around 4 words

I pulled that number from a 2001 US News report on school rankings.
I couldn't find the original report, but here's an excerpt from Univ. of
Iowa's website (describing Iowa's Psych program):

* Psychology, doctoral program: No. 45, tying with Arizona State
University,
Duke University (department of experimental psychology), the University of
Arizona, the University of California-Berkeley (School of Education), the
University of Massachusetts-Amherst, the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor,
the University of Oregon and the University of Pittsburgh-Main Campus
(2001
ranking). Note: This ranking is for the program within the UI College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences' department of psychology.


Oh well. I guess we can ignore this, since there's no explanation of what
the ranking means.

NOYB you better watch it. You confuse these guys when you present them with facts.

Besides that it has more conservatives?

When I attended Purdue, US News ranked the ME program 3rd in the country. A
survey of deans of the Engineering schools across the country currently
ranks it 7...but corporate recruiters currently ranks it 3rd.



And Indiana U. is not even in the running!

I didn't know you could compare IU's dental program with Berkeley's...since
Berkeley doesn't have one.

Nevertheless, all of the rankings I've seen of dental schools puts IU in the
top 10.
