Making some money

As I was walking in from the parking lot this morning, I pass by two theo-faction centers. The great thing about them is that they will be knocked down in a handful of years down the road to make way for the growth of the university, i.e., progress.

I propose that the university can make some money by selling swings of a wrecking ball at $500 or $1000 a piece. It can work like the spring break promotional that they do every year about drinking and driving where for one dollar, you can have three swings of a sledgehammer on a wrecked car. I suspect that there be will less building than people so that is why it is wonderful that there are two buildings to destroy.

Of course, the churches with which they are affiliated were against moving but, like the Vatican, they finally came around and it did not take four centuries.

We want to be in the central area of campus, they whine.

Tough! You need a place to meet, meet at a temple. That somehow seems appropriate. Frankly, religious groups do not belong on a university campus out of principal.

But the monks preserved Western knowledge during the Dark Ages.

No, the Arabs and Moors did. Western monks did have some of the material but they did not share it, they did not work to expand on it, and the only thing that they used it for was to practice their penmanship.

Frankly, they should have been burned alive for crimes against humanity.
