The pen is mightier than the sword in a country that makes college tuition free.
Free tuition is the fastest way to equalize the population and end our political conflicts.
Beef up not our arsenal but our intellect, and don’t pray to a god for this to happen.
Only human effort can pull it off, while prayer is a fifty fifty proposition as reliable as chance.
Ignorance is not bliss, as life today demonstrates. The nation needs a fast track to wisdom and no time to waste.
Or rather, we should take it slow and thorough, and read entire classics instead of excerpts: bring the whole works to a grinding halt and put ourselves in the classroom.
People shall not live by bread alone, nor by chili cheese fries at the drive through. What makes the world go round is not money.
The perfect world is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity, and no satire about it: this is dead serious stuff.
If we can realize dystopia, how much harder is it to go the other way?

Unfortunately, departmental politics in academia are just as ugly as in the political arena.
