Comment on Issue XXXI: But Who is Education Really for? by Nabeel

Nabeel — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:15:33 +0000

I never really saw a difference between public/private schools, except perhaps the make-up of the student body. I never felt there was a difference in the education…you can have stupid kids at Harvard or a brilliant kid at UT….however, it wouldn’t surprise me if stupid kid from harvard gets ahead moreso than smart kid from UT just because of the name (I mean hell, look at our last president with his lifelong failure record yet winds up as the most powerful man in the world)

Where exactly do you get your facts and figures from?? Great blog. I really never thought of hospitals as money hungry businesses with stingy CEOs…go figure.

Nabeel, are you saying you RATHER have these hospitals declare themselves for profit or they should continue the nonprofit charade?

Higher education privatization is an issue that also fascinates me; these teaching hospitals are also educational institutions as well, so it was indirectly about higher education as well. Maybe I’ll make that my thesis in London.

I never bought the line that “money is the root of all evil,” and it is always inherently corrupting. I always found that to be too Biblical and cynical for my tastes. I guess I was wrong.

I’m fairly certain the ‘non-profit’ title is most striking among hospitals, a historically unbiased institution. However, I’m fairly certain that you could find much of these same disregards of law & humanity with any ‘non-profit’ institution with enough profit (if that makes any sense…i.e. places of higher educations, some businesses, even churches). I would much rather be lied to my face than charaded into believing something that’s entirely based on principles of fuzzy math

Excellent work with this post. You’ve brought in a lot of good points backed with numbers. The last quote is telling.

This is very hot info. I think I’ll share it on Delicious.

Comment on Issue XXV: When Lieberman met Lieberman by Benn

I’m kind of surprised that Lieberman’s overt racism has largely gone unnoticed by the media. The scary part of it for me is that the man was elected by a good portion of the Israeli populace. It certainly seems like premonition of a more militant Israel in the future.

sad day…i remember reading about how lieberman basically said that annapolis doesn’t apply to Israel. What really scares me is that both Israel & Iran keep upping the ante on one another…neither state seems to be planning on backing down either. its only a matter of time before something crazingly awesome or bad happens

Interesting…the US supplies afghanistan and iraq with weapons for their ‘civil war of independence’ and it comes to bite them back in the ass via Osama bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein, respectively. Israel supports Hamas and now it comes back to bite them in the ass.

Perhaps if the US and Israel weren’t so schizophrenic about who is their friend/enemy they wouldn’t be having so many problems.
