Power, as we all know from Court TV, can bring a smile and an occasional tear to anybody with a beating heart and a healthy ego. Power can create, and power can destroy. Power can give Jesse Helms the arrogant presumption to act like an ass and still be allowed on capitol hill. Power then, must confer at least some degree of happiness. Of course, as soon as we start to remember the great teachings of Disney, we ll realize that power compromises.
Power is bad.
There is no way power can confer happiness. All that s left to education then, is education itself. And that, clearly, is a concept that is much too flimsy to serve as a beacon of faith, especially when the institution you re part of, puts more value on an ugly, menacing, hollow orb, than on real education. Nothing a giant cue stick can t cure.
