Anarchism

my comment about university education is in relation to *your *claims that university education is bogus, without ever actually going to one! how can you judge what you have no experience of? .

Talking about judgement...If any one here has been subjected to dismissive and rude comments regarding this thread, it's been me. Since page one, people have been incredibley rude for no other reason that the subject matter is one they do not like.

Judgeing something you have no experience of is exactly what you have done regarding everything I have brought up so far in this thread. You comment on books you have not read, and theories you haven't researched, or even scratched the very surface of your reaction and others have been knee jerk reactions to the suggestion of a state that would possibly use your energies for the betterment of it's own.

I have said, as you also know nothing of my experiences. From the very inception you have been judgemental, dismissive and rude, which I responded to. Such strong emotions would podssibly suggest that somehow you had something to protect. Would that be the very institution that gave you the scroll with the pretty ribbon around it?

reading and quoting verbatim from an agreed course, using recommended sources and using an agreed list of books, for an agreed panel of assesors that have preconceived ideas of what a 'good' and 'worthy' education comprises. That doesn't really constitute thinking to me.

Does that offend you? is that why you take such exception to what I type?

If I consistently used Noam as a source would you be happier? becuase he has an education green light, would you scoff at him for suggesting there was a world wide 'scam' of insider trading, double standards, colusion between business and governments?

no maybe not.
