It's hard work trying to get everybody to come out of the closet at the same time. This includes academia, their presidents, Congress, the US Department of Education, the students, graduates, Sallie Mae and the other lenders. Let's see how many of them we can flush out over a period of time. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? What is the core? The world may never know. In a creative nut, this video explores and exposes 10 interesting facts about the student loan industry that ya really ought to know about. This video goes by many names. Themes that come to mind include the de-value of higher education, celebrate mediocrity, the collapse of the university, student loan amnesty, student loan fugitives, spank that monkey, ring around the rosie and tag that ass. It is time for all of these institutions to be placed "on notice.""If you em-power me then, there is a risk those educational tools may be used against you in a court of law called the internet." The revolution will not be televised since it's gonna be on the net. Check it out at student loan justice dot org. http://www.studentloanjustice.org/One filmmaker is going forward with a documentary about student loan debt. The piece will be called "Default: The Student Loan Documentary". I urge you all to check out the website for the film, and support their efforts. http://defaultmovie.com/Our proposal for reform. You can check that out right here. It's pretty exhaustive. http://voptsslf.blogspot.com/ It is estimated that roughly 3% of the "general" population has the capacity for critical thinking at the graduate level alone. This does not even include the graduating percentile which is probably less than that. The irony and contradiction is tragically funny.Higher education. University. Doctors. Lawyers. Social/political scientists. Engineers. Artists. Teachers. Nurses. Pharm D's what the hell do we need them for?! Outsource them. It does seem as though we are at the bottom of the feed when it comes to social concern.This pursuit of higher education has turned into a nightmare. Many of our counterparts or "lendees" have managed to become Student Loan Fugitives.http://money.cnn.com/2008/10/23/pf/college/student_loan_fugitives/index.htm?postversion=2008102407There is a class action that has been filed against Sallie Mae but only includes "minorities" that have been wronged by Sallie Mae. So, if you know any minorities that can be included in this class action, the more the merrier. Even if "non-minorities" don't have a voice, let the minorities shut em down.
