RE: clarification needed

[Jill Waite <jwaite -at- criticaldevices -dot- com>]

Heard yesterday on NPR, regarding Internet and higher education ("...some in
academia are concerned that internet degree programs only in it for the
money will influence course curriculum for everyone"):

"The free marketplace of ideas is not the place to apply market rules."

Sloppy (empty?) thinking (like Orwell's "Newspeak") reflects the thought
process.  When the thought process is compromised on what can we rely?  If
we
take this line of thinking to it's extreme we may be seeing a reduction in

our
ability to resolve problems.  If we can't "think through a problem" and,
therefore, can't communicate it effectively, then conflict surely follows
because confusion will reign.
