Quote:It's been my experience that the AA programs that fill most of the south are condemned to fail not necissarily on their own merits but because opposition from bureaucriacies constantly throw wrenches into the programs. they don't like AA for their own reasons, never think it will work and then laden it down with ridiculous restrictions that gaurantee it will fail then turn around and say "AHA! Told you so!"
I think in situations like this it's less an example of the low value of AA programs and more an example of the low value of bureaucracies.
Like Gris has described, many of the colleges i've delt with and worked at in other areas of the countries don't have a lot of the issues that you describe. The little time i've spent working at colleges in the south has been laden with these issues. And what i haven't seen myself i've heard in horror stories.
Yeah, I was tring to imply that my self, the people who want to make sure it fails.
The South must be cleaned up. The problem with Southern politics is that it is full of Southern politicians.
And damnit, somebody send some flame resistant libertarians this way please. I am lonely.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
