I don't trust people who need a community to raise their children. And I damn sure don't trust people who want to save the world using MY money. Let them donate their own money and time to the causes they support and I'll do the same.
Parents who need a village to raise their kids are usually people who failed to raise their's properly, or at all. And yet these same Gollinizers keep offering to teach us about ethics and morality.
Now as for the degree mills. It would be one thing to go out and bring in various educators (real experts) to look at the issue of degree mills and then decide what needs to be done, and open that up to public discussion and comment. But if you allow the professional posters at places like DI/DD to become involved, and this includes Gollin / Bear / Douglas, all you will have is people looking to see their names and faces on TV and in the newspapers. People looking for ways to sell the new book and get expense accounts. Never, NEVER, trust the professional do gooders who want their 15 minutes of fame and oh so love to see their faces on TV.
You would have to get people who don't want the job, people who have real successful lives and would be willing, if pressed, to leave those lives for a short period of time to try and solve a real problem, degree mills. You can't just pack some committee with those raising their hands hollering "Pick me, me, me, me, please pick me, I'll do the job, let me do it." They will just rush in front of the nearest camera and do a Gollin or Bear. We have enough con men feeding at the public trough. We don't need more. Let those wanting to be seen and heard, to be someone, to get those 15 minutes of fame, do it in the private sector. At least then the poor taxpayer doesn't have to foot the bill for these glory seeking shills.
