meggo Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) there are some golden quotes in here... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/schwarzenegger-praises-hard-work-dismisses-girly-men/article1883699/Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lectured a Toronto audience of about 1,600 on the merits of hard work on Wednesday.The appearance wound up a cross-Canada tour in which he gave his first speeches since completing two terms as governor.On the challenges he faced governing a state hit hard by recession, Mr. Schwarzenegger explained: “Doing a budget is like making sausage – you don’t want to watch it.â€As he had in speeches in Calgary and Winnipeg the day before, the former actor and champion bodybuilder referred to other politicians as “girly men†who are often afraid to go beyond the status quo. He said some believed the state’s economy would make a sudden improvement, but that he made budget cuts because he is a realist.Throughout his hour-long talk, Mr. Schwarzenegger spoke at length about how hard he had worked throughout his life. He said he is often annoyed by students who complain about increased costs of education; he suggested they get jobs, as he had.On infrastructure, he said he agreed with U.S. President Barack Obama’s push for increased infrastructure spending. “Our infrastructure is aging,†Mr. Schwarzenegger said.He dodged questions about whether fellow Republican Sarah Palin has the qualifications to become president, saying he didn’t want to make headlines.He called the United States the most wonderful country in the world, adding that he owes it all of his successes.

Thorgnor Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) I think it's sad that people think that you "pay" for the education, or the degree/diploma... you're paying for the opportunity to have someone evaluate you. Think about that and then think about whether or not it makes sense to limit who can participate in education based on whether or not they can literally afford the price of admission. We don't really want the best and brightest anyways... Edited January 28, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
