Jerry Tucker, founder of the Center for Labor Renewal, and Stanley Aronowitz, sociology professor at City University of New York, will speak at 3 p.m. in the University of Michigan-Flint's University Center, Michigan Room D. The free lecture will focus on the union's agreement to take responsibility for administering members' health benefits through a VEBA (Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association).

I'd quit worrying about what/how professors give their money, and start worrying about how corporate superstars and masters of the universe subvert the political process. You could list 100 colleges in America with "liberal" staff and it still doesn't make it so. And, by the way, the contested piece of information was not that someone is liberal, it was the number of SELF-PROFESSED liberals. That was the claim made here, and I still don't believe it. Those "corporate superstars" provide l living to a LOT of people. Without businesses, where would people earn their living, government handouts? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.

Wed Jan 23, 2008 12:23 pm  Demeralda F L I N T O I D They provide the best living to themselves. It's not anti-business to want corruption and rape-for-profit to end in the highest levels of corporate America. They can have their business, and I'm happy for them to make money at it. But why do they need to make 1,250 times what a mid-level manager would make? Their work is not worth 1,250 times to the top or bottom line. Most times, they are happy to take credit for forces way beyond their contribution to the company.

Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:39 pm  Demeralda F L I N T O I D Last time I checked, college was elective No one forces those parents to pay those institutions, nor for the children to attend. If someone actually believes that their children are so weak-minded and weak-willed that one liberal prof can "brainwash" the kids, then I suggest they send them to Bob Jones or that other poser school (the name escapes me). As John Stuart Mill put it, "Not all conservatives are stupid, but all stupid people are conservative." There's a reason that higher education tends to be correlated with openmindedness -- that's what education IS!

As long as that openmindedness does not include any right winger philosphy being introduced into the classroom or disagreeing with some Marxist inspired prof it is. quote: As John Stuart Mill put it, "Not all conservatives are stupid, but all stupid people are conservative." Jeez ya left out "Red state red neck white male" a term I learned just recently on this forum. :lol ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Stewart Mills sounds like a conservative himself cause this sure aint the liberal philosphy nowdays. quote: War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.[4] _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!
