Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Art, You are truly what you say. You have attacked instead of challenged and I must count myself among those you choose to deride instead of engage. Others have chosen to pass you ³by, and by, and by² and I continue to try and understand what you have to offer. Please move towards substance instead of derision. I appreciate contrarians points of view as opposed to self-indulgent and condescending grandstanding. This is not meant as an attack but an invitation to inform those on this list serve as to what you propose as better thinking.
