When I was in college, I spent a semester in England. Now, dorm food enjoys (is that the right word?) a notorious reputation for being not so good, as does English cuisine. Combine the two, and, well, you get me living on a diet of Yorkie bars, tinned Heinz baked beans, tinned spaghetti, toast, and green apples. Hell, even pot noodles were better than the food in my hall's kitchen.
In another fun combination, we can observe that college students are sometimes guilty of simplistic or even wrong-headed thinking, and Republicans are likewise prone to these errors...
So if you put 'em together, you can just imagine the geniuses you end up with.
- "I support McCain because he is committed to doing what is best for the largest number of people," said Wolf, 21. "He will protect small businesses, won't raise taxes, and does not make guarantees on health care and education that he can't keep."
- "No matter what statistics you look at, we're making progress both militarily and politically in Iraq," said the San Jose native. "McCain wants victory and the Democrats, with their commitment to pulling out, are promising defeat."
- "I am a Christian, and believe strongly that human life is sacred and needs to be protected," said Joy, 21, a business and economics major. "I also believe in traditional marriage to ensure liberty. (Otherwise), the government is essentially sanctioning relationships that are not in accordance with natural law."
I weep for the future.
