3. military schools
I went to TAMU in the early 80's and that was where i voted for reagan. My experience, though certainly not having visited all universities... is that the military schools are the most nationalistic... sort of like indocrination institutes for the new american mullah army of goose stepping militarists. As my liberal blood eventually came out, i left the school as i could not stand it anymore.

I was threatened and attacked for dating outside of my race. I had rednecks take my dorm matress and collecitvely pee on it as a "prank" as i was a california "flake"... and innumerable other acts of petty hatred that now masquerades as neocon cheap labour republicanism.

Texas a&m turns out more officers to the US military than any other school including west point, anapolist and the air force academy. The combination of fundamentalist nationalism and fundamentalist god-fearing christianity is only possible in the south where people are than insane and depraved... still the legacy of slavery.

TAMU aggies define themselves by their relationship with "tu" (university of texas) and wearing an orange (School colours of tu) shirt on the TAMU campus can get you attacked. Hidden in that hatred is the loathing of austin and its liberals, and a revalling that TAMU is a land grant school, where agent orange was invented. That speaks to the pathology of TAMU, agent orange.

Old miss may indeed be worse, but TAMU and its segregated black sister school prarie view A&M are as neocon as you get... BTW, i went to TAMU in petroleum engineering where it was ranked #1 in teh nation... in the 80's west texas petroleum slump... and all the petroleum people wanted to increase drilling everywhere as what is the earth but a big oil well... evangelical militarist idiots... the corps turds at tamu.
