I'm sick to my stomach with all of the propaganda and after 2 sessions it seems we're all supposed to eat this like it's cud.
First day was a handout about how Milosevic was bloodthirsty and the invasion was good and now Kosovo and Bosnia should both join the E.U. quickly quickly as possible. People who think world government isn't on the agenda, it is, and it is EVERYWHERE IN OUR UNIVERSITIES. I'm so friggin mad I spent all this money on a 700+ page tome of indoctrination.
Q: Would you drop this course, and how hard?
