indoctrination gives to reality

UNIVERSITY

The joke about college faculty diversity goes - you need a black marxist, a lesbian marxist, a latino marxist, ect - and if you must, a few white male marxists (until you can replace these with new 'targeted hires') Ironically those individuals with physical disabilities don't get preference in the mix especially if they are white. Its said that the ones sitting in university offices today are the ones from the sit-ins of the late sixties (can they trust themselves being over thirty?) And despite all this, i have no fear of indoctrination of the current students. Eventually most will leave campus life and enter the real world and will confront reality - rejecting socialist fantasies. My definition of the real world is: 1)working for a for-profit/non-union/non-fortune-500 company. 2)shopping for ones own groceries. Now this excludes a large proportion of the country but this is just my arbitrary opinion. People working in government/union/fortune-500 jobs don't experience real world compensation packages and job security. They are buffered from market forces. I put the grocery store shopping in there to exclude some rich people. I have nothing against them but if you don't do your own shopping then your contact with the real world is limited. One sees quite a bit of ones fellow humankind at the grocery store on a weekly basis (assuming its a regular one and not some organic or exclusive neighborhood market) Especially at the beginning of the month.
