Comments on: Who would have thought http://freepressblog.org/blog/2006/06/20/who-would-have-thought/ I was syncing my Facebook status here for a while, but now I'm boycotting them over the FriendConnect fiasco...

I suppose that whether that tendency is extended into West Point is a separate issue, and that is as it should be, so kudos to them (as I was trying to say in the original post, and not even as a backhanded compliment). Don't get too distracted by my surprise, though; that was a side point of the post. Write it off as my own bias if it makes you feel better, but don't let that stop you from watching the clip, because it's quite good, and it's only five minutes.

I Can't see why West Point wouldn't be like any other top tier university filled with smart, curious students eager to listen and converse with a popular intellectual. I'm sure nobody at West Point is afraid of his analysis, regardless of how broken they think it is. Don’t have time to watch, but don’t understand why you think this is surprising.
