What should I do with my life after graduation? Or, to put it more broadly: How should I live? What kind of life is most choice-worthy? These are fundamental questions of a first order. Ignore or dismiss them as we may, our daily actions, choices, and beliefs imply some sort of answer—not always coherent and consistent, and indeed often arbitrary and unreflective...
...goal of a Harvard education should be something truly noble: not only to make men wiser, but to make them freer as well. Yet on almost all accounts, she has failed to live up to this charge. In advocating a life attentive only to the standards or values that the individual arbitrarily has chosen himself, fair Harvard—while believing that she is broadening her students’ minds—rather subjects them to the vilest and most dehumanizing slavery...
African food systems are also highly local. Most food production is consumed on the farm, and the portion marketed does not travel far.

Even worse for these true Locavores, when the crops fail in a drought, food supplies from nearby surplus regions cannot be brought...

Those people who fail to successfully integrate into society always have the option of government housing centers, but this is ultimately far more expensive for the state than the little money it takes for a trip to a state fair or an ice cream social. From a strictly numerical standpoint, the difference between these options and this cutting is egregious...
