p> Great piece. I have had so many laughs over this last tirade of Gore's. I can't believe that Democrats would let this guy loose, and if this is what they, the Democrats, believe and stand for, they are in a very deep hole. I am a reasonably educated person, but, I sure couldn't make out what Gore was saying. What a run of words that just did not connect! br> -- Ann Inman br> Mt. View, California /p> p> The media can do a much better job of policing themselves and of "outing" the fifth column presstitutes in their midst. A good, but seldom mentioned, example of a media evildoer is C-Span. This network regularly covers the press conferences of the Bush administration and, while doing so, emphasizes only the hostile, anti-Republican, ultra-left wing, extremist liberal members of the media. The folks who are shown asking questions almost always are being exhibitionists or are clearly opposed to what the Administration is doing/saying. By emphasizing these media leftists, C-Span unfairly creates a bias toward normal people and their thinking. I do hope, therefore, that Gore includes C-Span in his list of folks who are unfair to the lefties. br> -- unsigned /p> p> THE GREAT TUITION RIP-OFF br> Re: John R. Dunlap's Tuition Delusion : /p> p>John R. Dunlap's brilliant and timely observations on the great national college tuition rip-off should be read by all parents of grade school children so that they may have time to do something about the situation or at least to bend over and brace themselves properly for the onslaught. He neglected to mention one other reason for the unjustifiable increase in tuition costs: that institutions of higher learning are constantly engaging in one-upmanship as they must price themselves relative to their perceived position in the marketplace so as not to be considered inferior schools.
