The professor took great offense. The debate ended as he spent the remainder of the class lecturing them on the evils of capitalism, the love of communism, and how the USSR and China are not really communist-but mean dictatorships. If the USA would leave everyone alone, then a communist state would emerge and the world would be good. This was upsetting as usually, but the truly upsetting part was that after class many of the other students remarked how "he opened my eyes" or "thats so beautiful" or "I hate Bush and America-why can't we leave these people alone."

Funny how these ideologys alway's come out of the education department, the history, the socieology, and arts schools of any Universtity or college. In my experience most prof's at these universities are still wondering why they haven't leaped the bell curve in personal income. It's much easier to demonize capitlism and the current administration then to look at ones self and relize that their views are in fact pent up frustration at their own failures to keep up with the Jones's.
Captilism works PERIOD. All one has to do is look at the Soviet Union, Mexico, et al and see how government run industry has failed. (Miserably)
Funny how these profs at this college seem to take all the spoils of captilism just as quickly as any one else, but condemn it's reality into a sport of denigration and disgust. Ask the profs if their taking all their allowable tax deductions this season and the asstounding answer is "YES"
