This is what I see when i think about higher education in this country today:Remember the housing meltdown ? Tough to forget isn’t it. The formula for the housing boom and bust was simple. A lot of easy money being lent to buyers who couldn’t afford the money they were borrowing. That money was then spent on homes with the expectation that the price of the home would go up and it could easily be flipped or refinanced at a profit. Who cares if you couldn’t afford the loan. As long as prices kept on going up, everyone was happy. And prices kept on going up. And as long as pricing kept on going up real estate agents kept on selling homes and finding money for buyers.Until the easy money stopped. When easy money stopped, buyers couldn’t sell. They couldn’t refinance. First sales slowed, then prices started falling and then the housing bubble burst. Housing prices crashed. We know the rest of the story. We are still mired in the consequences.Can someone please explain to me how what is happening in higher education is any different ?

Paul Cameron reveals he is a pedophile that likes to rape boys.

That is what I hear him saying. That is the only reason I can think of that would make him assume that all gay people would wish to do that. That, or he was raped when he was young and blames all gay people.

OK, draw yourself up to your full height, purse your lips, wrinkle your nose and in your best Edith Evans imitation say, “A Rand-bag?”
