Why go to college?
This video does a good job of demonstrating why I'm glad I was forced to quit college years ago...
...
His undercover videos are hilarious! My favorite part was the "History" professor who was totally ignorant about how the slave trade worked (5:55 in the video). And that Ben Franklin scene at the end was the best!
The only thing he didn't cover that I wish he had is the large and very vicious anti-semite contingent that plagues just about every liberal university on the planet. When I was in college, I was harassed whenever I wore my Star of David necklace or mentioned that I was Jewish. People I didn't even know would get in my face and scream "DO YOU CONDEMN APARTHEID ISREAL!? YOU SHOULD!!! AREN'T YOU ASHAMED OF WHAT 'YOUR PEOPLE' ARE DOING TO THE PALESTINIANS!? AREN'T YOU!? DON'T YOU HATE BUSH FOR SUPPORTING ISRAEL!?". That was the pivot point that changed my political outlook around.
Oh well. Maybe he's saving that subject for another video.

...unfortunately, Conservatives under the age of 40 aren't as easy to find as their middle-aged and elderly counterparts. :P

I know that one all too well. My friends all back home are liberal. They took great delight in tearing President Bush apart for the stupidest things, and while I didn't love the man, I couldn't agree with what people did to him. And now that we have Obama I'm not hearing much of anything (yet this feeling of dread in me grows). I'd still never call myself a conservative, but I cannot even begin to understand being liberal.
