Columbia-School, Country, or Record Company

For some reason, this was on my mind with the earliest thoughts of the day. The others were some freaky dream that I cannot remember well enough to recount. So let's briefly remind ourselves about each one and pick the best.

Columbia University-an Ivy League School Located in Manhattan, NYC. Probably most noted for its School of Journalism. Although it is distinguished for many other things. Columbia, Like many other universities has fallen under the spell of noisy self-righteousness, I mean protesting. Not content in rooting for our enemies in foreign wars, they also are against law and order here at home. On October 4, 2006 a group of student protesters mounted the stage during a speech Made by A founder of the Minutemen Project. I find their train of thought intriguing. Illegal aliens should be allowed to enter our country at will, but U.S. citizens don't deserve their First Amendment rights when you don't agree with them. Let's hope the future leadears of America don't go to C.U.

Colombia(White Powdery Jewel of South America)- A democratic republic with a stable goverment, yet to be completely hegemenous due to strength of the drug trade. The countries terrain is as diverse as its ethnic makeup. All types are to be found in Colombia. There is also a vibrant urban and rural populations. With a progressive and reform minded government, this country looks to be a part of the Free West, not taking the lead of thugs like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Now just stop with the coke please.

Columbia Records- One of the first distributors of Edison phonographs. They obviously got into recording and selling records. They were the first company to introduce the LP. Over the years, Columbia Records has brought us music from Tony Bennett, David Bowie, Alice in Chains, Billy Joel, Mariah Carrey, and Cyndi Lauper. Columbia is now owned by Sony.

My winner is Colombia-the country. With all of its faults, it is at least trying hard to be better. Those snot nosed Ivy Leaugers seem to have forgotten what freedom is. They are more pre-occupied with ivory tower concepts like peace and diversity. Columbia Records is a Japanese company now producing non-musical pop music. Their best days are long gone. Anyone care to disagree, let's hear it!

When is it OK for the right to protest to impede freedom of speech, interesting?
