Does anyone attend the Univ of Oregon?

Last season was a solid breakout for nigel burton, who runs a high tempo pistol. Had a good result, finishing third in the big sky behind montana and montana state, succeeding where jerry glanville and mouse davis had failed. Lost the starting qb and rb though, not sure on how the replacements look yet. Hopefully another winning season is doable. enough of those and a move up to the wac could be on the horizon

Sounds promising, how do you think the Vols will do this year?

Any chance of winning the SECE?

And to reflect on the Portland St. marxist/activist indoctrination course:

Not sure about the Vols this year. I think finishing 3rd in the east would be a success.

And most people at PSU are like any other college. The Marxist course has hardly anybody in it, and I see everybody dodging the greenpeace activists, just like any other school.

How can the University justify offering such a subversive course to begin with?

You are right about most people steering clear of the more radical elements but let me remind you of the socialist dogma that in only takes a small percentage of dedicated activists in any given population to enact their ultimate goals and we see this in constant action in this country, (worldwide for that matter.)

The O&W game was played earlier today.

Orange (Worley) 17, White (Bray) 14.

Running game was better, Marlin Lane = player of the game.

Both teams took opening drives for a TD, then the defense stiffened up (plus they both diversified and starting using blitzes) and finally with about 1:09 left Worley's team drive the length of the field after Palardy missed a short field goal and scored, capped by a 39 yd rush by Lane who seems to be showing more speed this year, taking a 14-7 lead at the half.

White team scored to open the second half and later Brodus (walk on and first black kicker at UT) kicked a 38 yarder to make it 17-14 but later missed a short FG to make it 20-14, leaving White and Bray the ball with about 2 mins to go, they drove past the 50 but after a penalty and a sack they gave it up on downs at their own 35 with 30 secs to go.

Orange gets the steaks, white gets hot dogs.

Derrick Rogers had a very good game and so did TE Revera, they both played for White.

Worley's stats were slightly better than Bray's and he played very well except for once when he should have eaten the ball rather than throw an ill advised pass that hit a LB in the chest and was intercepted.

Sometimes it takes years to get QBs to understand that every play isn't going to be successful, at times you have to take the sack or throw it away and go on to the next play.

Our first game of the 2012 season should be an indicator of what's in store since we open with a team that has high hopes of competing for the ACC championship.

Why Portland, Oregon has come to be known as 'Moscow on the Willamette':

“Revolutionary Marxism” Course Offered At PSU

GS, is your anger directed at the fact that they are offering a course on Marx and Marxism? Or, is it directed at the fact that they demand that students familiarize themselves with institutions/groups that may be Marxist?

Do you have the same anger toward comparative religious studies courses which demand that students attend worship services at Mosques, Synagogues, Temples, and Churches?

I fail to understand why it is that learning about these ideologies angers and/or scares you. Are you afraid that most 18-22 year-old students will find Marxism more appealing than Capitalism? 18-22 year-old students have found counter-culture more appealing than mainstream culture for thousands of years. Most of them end up distancing themselves from the more extreme forms of counter-culture ideology as they grow and mature.

Maybe I am reading too much into your post, but it appears as though you would rather such courses be prohibited, thus you are supporting censorship. The irony is that you are supporting censorship so that others will more strongly support free-market capitalism, which depends on liberty.

You must have missed where he was dogging on dialectics, of all things. Pretty sure that was around before Marx made his interpretation of it, by like a few thousand years.

what's funny (and ironic) is that many of the professors and students who profess love and admiration for an ideology like Marxism are often the last ones to be willing to give up the bourgeois trappings that capitalism provides

as such, they are not to be taken seriously

They should be taken seriously insofar as the philosopher espoused by Karl Marx is an internally consistent system based on many premises that are widely accepted and scant few that are problematic. A great deal of persons do not agree with Marxism simply because they do not appreciate the conclusions that are validly argued from the premises.

Capitalism, on the other hand, as espoused by Adam Smith is based on very few premises that are widely accepted and many premises that are problematic and uncomfortable (Hobbist and Mandevillian Humeanism). Yet, a great deal of persons agree with Capitalism simply because they appreciate the conclusions that are validly argued from the premises.

Personally, I accept most of the Hobbist and Mandevillian premises from which Smith argues. Most persons in Capitalist societies do not accept the Hobbist notions of self-interest as moral and Mandeville's argument for "Private Vices, Public Virtue"; yet, they irrationally cling to a system built upon such premises because they do not want to part with their money and their comfort.

Note: Some might be struck at a Kantian who embraces Hobbes; that is because the only way to understand what motivates one to adhere to the Categorical Imperative is to understand Kant's notion of 'respect' as a self-satisfying feeling.

I've known a couple pretty damned leftist professors at PSU, some involved with Socialist International, none of whom are Marxist though. The course that GS brought up is student-run, and as I mentioned, counts for jack shat as far as the university is concerned.

I think most people today find most of the ideas that lay the framework for capitalism and the us constitution fairly uncomfortable.

I'm fairly amused by people that subscribe to both objectivism and evangelism.
