  • College sports is already a joke. It’s been operating as an unpaid internship for the majors for decades.

    Now I guess the interns get paid. Either way, it’s a horrible situation and shouldn’t have a place at university.

    Amateur sports should be played by amateurs. Nobody playing for a big 12 team could reasonably be called an amateur. These colleges are scouting top high school talent. Most of the players have been on this track for years.

    I feel like such a chud. Like every one else at the time, we celebrated unification and the Berlin wall coming down.

    Looking back, I realize we were fed a constant stream of anti-communist propaganda. It was everywhere. TV, movies, video games, comics, news, etc.

    If I’d known an inkling of the truth, I would have thought much differently.




  • This is an excellent read.

    I remember hearing about the "free Tibet" movement in the 80s and 90s. I thought it sounded like justice.

    I was also taken in by Scorcese's Kundun and the peaceful sounding Dalai Lama.

    Reading about accounts like this drastically changed my attitude. This is not the first one I've read about how Tibet used to be, but this is definitely a strong, personal account.
