Reflections on college visits

Eh, if they were they would have been taken long ago. College students don't have the money for 8 balls.

By the way, we saw the college republicans setting up a booth at Berkeley. Brave young souls.

Surprised the Red Guard didn’t attack them.

[jon-nyc]

In fairness they were still setting up. They may not have seen them yet.

What subject does boy-nyc want to study?

[jon-nyc]

He’s narrowed it down to either medicine or aerospace engineering. With a minor in music.

[Mik]

A rich life.

Why did you folks tour UBC?
Sorry of the signage, btw. (We colonists have to acknowledge & apologize).

[jon-nyc]

Why? Why not? He already toured McGill and (since he was there) Concordia. He'll tour University of Toronto in April along with US schools in the midwest. He's also been to a couple of schools in London, though he's not interested in being that far away.

You're not a colonist and you don't owe anyone an apology.

More generally, why is it we recognize how foul and dangerous it is to tie ethnicities to territories when the European right does it ("Blut und Boden") but somehow its ok when "First (sic) Nations" do it?

Also, why is the second to last group to conquer a territory special? Why not third to last? Or fourth?

The whole ideology is intellectually vacuous.

That's quite amusing. At his age I also still had no realistic idea of what I actually wanted to do.
