Clinton orders her supporters...SILENCE with press!

If they violate the directive, and talk to the press, will they be considered her Opponents?

What a quandary was just thrown into their young lives...

...(dunno if you were being sarcastic)...

I was... Didn't want to go overboard, as you probably know the saying - "If you have to explain - it probably wasn't any good, anyway."

Agree with the remainder of what you say.

I have a different opinion of the educated getting their first dose(s) of Real World. They bought into the system with stupid educations - because they didn't want to perform real work...just, get paid and possibly get a badge or honor or Office...by pushing & painting words & pictures...that make no positive difference. (my opinion)

I would hope that such an "eye opener" (topic of the thread) would cause them all to run away - and try to make it in the Australian Outback...with no cameras or publishing deals, as - Political Science is useful only for political careers and forming bad policy. (tainted with a pinch of sarchasm)

@wrabbit2000,

And I agree with your right to an opinion - else, I (or you) would be the only one, here.

In the vein of 'education' (and even Poly-Sci)...
Aside from paying one's dues into the system - what good do BS, MS, MBA, PhD, et al...do anyone...particularly?

I understand the need of reading, writing, comprehension, math & advanced math skills, artistic expression, etc...
...but, have seen those entering the marketplace (utilizing 'things' learned in said system of education) outperform their compatriots (whose degrees were tailored to the task, and/or from more esteemed clubs/universities) - And, while it is true that the core disciplines enabled them to learn & perform new tasks - they were of the character that would have learned said core disciplines, anyway, to perform at their level/s...
They were destined to be the workhorses, keeping their employers' stars shining...in the public eye...but would not reap/enjoy the benefits of "good reward for good work"...because - politicos are better rewarded...anywhere...that requires a 'degree'.

I sat beside a young man (to me) early in my current profession.
He was Poli-Sci... Worked in the Senate, for judges at the capitol, etc...
He could not do the work. He bailed on our first assignment in the field...after three days.
I was left on this assignment, on loan, and alone, for six months.
I would return to the corporate offices Fridays, and leave out, Monday mornings... Within a month, the hi-tailer was sitting in his own office...thus bypassing the drudge others must mire through, to stay in the business.

Those that make it in politics, are the slime that keep the world sliding into oblivion/perdition. (opinion)

I would curb the points and barbs that might be perceived in the above, but hope you know that none of it is pointed at you (and others that place a different set of values on 'education/politics'). It is simply a part of 'where' my comments come from.

As to - "the kid's fault?"

They have no idea... Just doing what they've been trained and taught for the last 12 years (or so)...

School (all the way) is another style of military training - "You have no right to think freely.  You must think and process as you are told.  And these are the things you must think on, and accept as fundamental to life, conduct and success."

Appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you.

Very well said.

But - would those institutions even be there for you to go to at your 'convenience'...if not for the farm-atmosphere that surrounds herding all the "I don't know why I'm here"'s...into the Guaranteed School Loans - "so you can spend Four or so years partying, before having to meet the real world...and start paying for your Four"...straight out of puberty?

If there were something I had time to learn, and the only place to learn it...was in college, I would do as you.
