And this conversation doesn't even include climate change, which makes me more frightened and sad the more I understand it better.<br /><br />I'd like to hear more about your idea to "undertake long-term participatory, experiential studies within so-called developing communities."<br /><br />bBonnie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502234943864006853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21324888.post-71618379315893503512013-09-27T13:51:51.949-07:002013-09-27T13:51:51.949-07:00Josh, This is very well done.

The reasons for this are multitude but the biggest one is MONEY. Universities rely on that donor money and so cater to their biggest donors, ie: sports fans and politicians.

It is a sad statement on the current population that they can't even survive without their electronic devices for a day, let alone know how to feed and clothe themselves without electricity.PattyWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656019527340690989noreply@blogger.com
