At Kaplan University, 'Guerilla Registration' Leaves Students Deep In Debt

Between this and the one that I didn't post a few months ago about student loan practices, I'm all super-dubious about higher education right now. If socialist systems tend toward inefficiency [citation needed] and free market systems rot in their own corruption [hyperbole, but not much?], what oh what system is the magic silver bull...et that will save us humans from our unkind fates and from ourselves? >_>;

...or maybe this is kinda like how forest fires work? A bunch of small ones will keep the dead brush cleared out, keep any individual fire from getting too huge and catastrophic. I get annoyed with constant calls for reform because I wonder why the system has broken in the first place, but that may just be the natural progression of selfishness and entropy. Perhaps the true song for any system, any human endeavour, is "Reform Reform Reform".

"Renew thyself, every day." That was, I think, the very first page in that zen-a-day calendar that I continue to neglect. XD One must continue to be the green and growing branch, or one will find oneself a part of the underbrush that must be burned away.
