Old rule
Perfect example of the inviolate and absolute rule:
More money means worse education.
Last week I happily noted a small organic farming project in WSU's agriculture department. The project was initially funded through a grant carried by one grad student. When that student finished, the project made an outstandingly smart decision: Sell the food to people in the community. It thus became a closed-loop arrangement, where the results of the learning are evaluated and paid for by real consumers. You can't get any better than that.
Note: WSU was UNWILLING to fund the project in the usual governmental way, so the project had to escape from academic mediocrity and achieve REAL LEARNING and REAL RESEARCH via monetary feedback from actual consumers.
Today we find out what WSU is WILLING to spend taxpayer money on:
Green shit. Completely useless, serving only to impress vacuum-brained totally indoctrinated Gaia-worshipping kiddies.
Old rule, correct every time. ¶ 3:48 AM

Washington State University’s effort to go green got a boost last week with the purchase of three all-electric cars. The vehicles, produced by Global Electric Motorcars, use gel batteries and are capable of speeds to 25 mph, making them suitable for on-campus transportation. One of the cars will be dedicated to providing orientation tours for incoming students.
Green shit. Completely useless, serving only to impress vacuum-brained totally indoctrinated Gaia-worshipping kiddies.
