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. |

Pikku: Re: military lists One's name and address is hardly a private issue. We had to put our own name on "the" list at the post office when we turned 18. Was that a privacy issue? It was the law. Subsequently, I was invited (Greetings: You are herby requested to . . .) join Uncle Sam's finest. It is no big deal in my mind. A strong democracy within a strong nation necessitates a strong military. All should have the opportunity to serve. In my world, no one would receive a high school diploma until he/she served in one capacity or another; (military, Vista, Ameri-corps, CCC (revised as environmental projects), veterans hospital, local environmental labor, needy school district tutoring, nursing home aide). Perhaps, this is earned citizenship appreciation or CIVICS 101.
