That is one great statement, it accurately discribes the problems we face and the best analogy I've heard in a long time.

Tabsey's comment is a brilliant illustration of the problem the clip addresses.

    Correctness is intellectual AIDS. Everything it touches it sickens and eventually kills.
    On America’s college campuses it has diminished freedom of speech, warped curricula,
    politicized grading and replaced intellectual integrity with vapid sloganeering. In
    classroom after classroom, professors offer an ideological rant, which students are
    compelled to regurgitate to get a grade: the vomit returns to the dog. These
    places—and they are many—are no longer universities, but small, ivy-covered
    North Koreas.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D91672D1-2900-4310-8676-CD296C9797B7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
