Interesting Observation

Sorry, still no rant. I'm reading a bunch of other blogs, but the content is too outdated to really inspire anything. However, I want to mention something I saw in my dorm. In the bathroom on my floor, there is a poster about a speaker (Mark Regev) who is coming to the school on Tuesday. There are probably more, but I know at least one is here. He's going to be talking about 9-11, the war on terror, the war in Iraq, and the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Now, here's the interesting part: He's associated with the the Israeli embassy and a program called "Caravan for Democracy," and is going to be talking about why we need to fight the war on terror. I was shocked. A liberal arts university is actually bringing in somebody who represents the conservative viewpoint! The guy is actually going to be encouraging patriotism and telling people why they should support Israel. Like I said, there are probably more posters, so the fact that this one is in the bathroom doesn't really prove anything. The school itself is bringing in this speaker. I'd like to present this as yet another reason why Syracuse is one of the best universities in America. They may favor liberals, but they don't blacklist conservatives. I love it. I still enjoy writing about some of the dumb liberalized things my professors say, but there hasn't been anything close to what I've seen from other schools. We've still got a long way to go before we reach what could be considered a moderate political atmosphere, but radicalism is generally isolated and usually ignored. Well, that was fun. Like I said, I still don't have a good rant, but it can only be a matter of time before something else upsets me. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free to let me know. The comments work correctly now, so I'll see it right away.
