[Introduction]

When one is doing a critique of the university, it is difficult to know whom to attack most, staff or students, but I will take the former, because they are generally at a more advanced stage of idiocy.

Firstly, where is Euro and Yank society going.... most definitely west, to throw in a pun. Brecht, whom those literary morons chronically misinterpret, observed this years ago, and one needs only to analyse the development of Euro literature (at a depth beyond the capability of most staff members admittedly) to see the destructive, decadent effect that "progress" has had ... too many people, too much misdirected energy, materialism. Euro-land and the Big A are sick society and arc threatening to pull us down with them, but what is the university, supposedly at the vanguard of 'cultural progress' doing about this?
