Comment Re:sex is bad (Score 1) 163

Keep in mind that the Christian right really hasn't been a voting force for a while. On the other hand, the puritan left has become a voting force. You've got sex-negative feminism as you pointed out, but there's also a general sex-negative leftism as well. Just look at all the neo-puritains that rail against video games and movies that have sexual content from the left.

What I find annoying as hell is how the old-hacks who railed against movies and video games, now feel emboldened by the very loud minority voices among the left pushing for censorship to the point that they can dust off their old talking points and start anew. And the same media outlets, those same voices who screeched that those right-wingers were assholes for trying to censor, are right there...nodding their heads in agreement. Here's two good examples, Jack Thompson is now paraded by leftist sites as a moral voice. And a nearly dead right-wing organization got Cosmopolitan removed from walmart by riding on the heels of left wing screeching.

On what planet do you think the christian right has lost voting power? Because this is earth, where the Christian right, who make up almost a majority of the population far outweighs the fledgling "sex negative left". Either you are anti-left astro turfing, or a neck beard libertarian far out of touch with reality.

Comment Re:No incentive to lower costs (Score 1) 827

Universities have no real incentive to lower prices. Why should they? They can foist costs onto a third party.

Also, their costs keep going up - healthcare, salaries, maintenance. Their cost structure is basically fixed. The only way they can cover those is by raising tuition.

This isn't a new problem. This is a structural problem that's been pointed out many times. Why is this news?

Any union shop has the same issues.

Nice attempt at a dig at unions, righty, but there are so many other variables that go into an equation other than pay. Lets have a real discussion that is as complex as the problem itself, and not post generic and untrue rhetoric.
