I'm Amazed
« on: June 07, 2005, 12:16:04 AM »
I started another semester tonight. Class is in American Military History and the prof is a retired judge.

I tell ya... I'm just amazed. I thought I had a pretty good left lean going, but I'm definitely to the right of this guy.

This should be a fun class.

That's the trouble. I always tended to think of myself as left leaning. The problem is the left keeps going further left and I was left (no pun intended) behind.

Meanwhile the right think I'm a pinko commie.

Sigh, you just can't win!:(

Bah... it's a pain in the ass. ;) At this point in my career, I don't really need the BS degree for anything other than the MS, which might come in handy.

a lot of us older guys have had to go back to school in order to keep up with our jobs.  

working all day and taking a 3hour or so class at night is wearysome.    

The far left leanings of the professors who have never had a job or lived a life is sometimes irritating.  

at the root of it....

Most of em are simply angry at the right because they feel that the right is persecuting them and not allowing them to enjoy all the drugs and underage women/men that they feel entitled to as superior human beings.

No..I've been in the past and am aattending now...I once asked my college algebra professor what the presidential elections had to do with math..he told me to shut up it was his class and we'd discuss whatever he wanted..funny I assumed that even college classes have curriculums...I have encountered quite a few that abuse their position in this way. I made the mistake of stating my views from a military prospective...now I get **** for being a right wing nutjob in his class when political discussions start.
