In Defense of the Liberal Arts

Its an inherent danger that when society loses it training grounds for rational thinkers, society as a whole suffers. Nazi Germany burned books in large fires to surpress freedom of though. Stalin declaired war on free thought. In the US today we too are seeing academic freedom under assult. Ironcially this is being done under the banner of freedom by such academo-fascists as George Gollin who argued that he was exercising his own freedom by putting up a page on his publically financed website which aimed to persecute institutions of higher learning which did not conform to his own ideals

And there are more and more restrictions on freedom. I believe that the elitists will not rest until they create a New World Order devoid of free thought.
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
