"That is easy to say, but how do you effect it? I always ask that question and never get an answer." You have always had the answer. Refuse to be defined by the past or the limitations of inhuman group identities. Be “it.” Shake things up, challenge authority, simplify complexity, clarify confusion and you have a starting place. As far as political parties go... a pox on both their houses! You should have realized that long ago.

"Death Spiral" - Harvard Professor Predicts Up To Half Of US Universities May Fail In 15 Years Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/14/2014 - 21:58Soaring student debt, competition from online programs and poor job prospects for graduates are shrinking the applicant pools for many universities and, as Bloomberg reports, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities warns "there will clearly be some institutions that won’t make it..through these difficult steps." Rather stunningly, Moody’s found that expenses are outpacing revenue at 60 percent of the schools it tracks even as many try to slash their way to balanced budgets," and concluded "what we’re concerned about is the death spiral... this continuing downward momentum for some institutions." As Harvard professor Clayton Christensen has warned, as many as half of the more than 4,000 universities and colleges in the U.S. may fail in the next 15 years, and is "not sure a lot of these institutions have the cushion to experiment with how to stay afloat."
