The Koch brothers, university donations, and getting to pick the professors

Edited on Wed May-11-11 11:36 AM by Cyrano
Charles Koch is donating $1.5 million to Florida State University. But along with this donation he is retaining the right to "help choose" professors.

Every time you think that pricks like the Koch Brothers have figured out every possible way in the world to screw us, and pervert our freedoms and our society, they come up with something new.

Of course, the university has accepted the donation which, makes them whores.

The Koch's aren't content to own just about everything there is to own. They want to own the future. And the way to do that is to control the thinking of generations to come. Thus, donations to a university where they get to name the propagandists -- um, professors -- who teach there.

At one time, I believed there were people in this world who sucked, but, being an agnostic, I didn't believe in the existence of "evil." Well, you can now count me among those who do believe that evil exists. And the Koch Brothers are a prime example of it.

So that's my opinion. What's yours?
