This time it seems the statistically insignificant gaggle of hurt-feeling types want to change the name of the Calhoun Honors College at Clemson University.
200 students and alumni out of hundreds of thousands sign this petition and it makes the news. We have simply lost the ability to think about things critically!

The Twentieth Century was marked by the rise, fall and struggle of three ideologies, Fascism, Communism and its cousin Liberalism.

by Barry Lee Clark
I began blogging in 2002, occasionally I look back at some of the topics and subjects and realize I have been absolutely wrong on some matters. These generally relate to specific policy matters or predictions where some policy may or may not have gone. This is to be expected.
