It's easy to see why so many academics are communitarians. They see government like Big Daddy Warbucks - it is government largess which controls the barbarian hordes encircling their ivory towers, and protects their status as well as their privileges.
As soon as credentialism takes hold of their minds they become "bought-and-paid-for" by the counterfeiters who actually rule them.
Hi Lark!
Yes, it's easy when we see their titles as "titles of nobility." It makes a lot more sense to me after all these years of reading Ph.Ds and explains why our founders forbid any state or federal govt from granting them .. it was so important they included in the U.S. Constituion. Now when I see the letters Ph.D. in front of anyone's name I refrain from giving that person any "extra" respect OR trust, which is how I used to be.
Several years ago Nordica awarded me an "honorary" Ph.D. in "Communitarianism is B.S." It's hanging on the wall of my hut.
