prism - A medium that misrepresents whatever is seen through it.
Greetings,
Here you will find the rantings of caffeinated scholar in training. Welcome to my perspective!
I just read a Yahoo News headline that read: "McCain says he can best handle crisises". Which makes me think one thing–what are they planning next? The last big crisis occurred in Autumn of 2001 and paved the way for legislation that violated the constitution and ignored the civil liberties of Americans. So when McCain says that he is best able to handle a crisis, I just wonder what it is that he has planned.

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
