Informed dissent

OpinionNovember 7, 2008
Congratulations you unpatriotic,terrorist-palling,fake American,Islamic Marxists,you did it.You just elected Louis the Sixteenth. For those unfamiliar with the analogy,some history:King Louis XVI was the guy who got his head chopped off during the French Revolution.He didn’t sow the seeds of that revolution,or even really incite it.No,that honor belongs to his predecessor,Louis XV,who left the nation with atrocious poverty,soaring food prices,appalling inequality and anincestuouselite composed of the idle rich and fanatical religious conservatives.Add to that a foreign policy which exceeded the military’s ability to maintain the empire and,most importantly,a massive national debt whichledto an unprecedented financialcrisis,and it’s no wonder that in the last years of his rule,Louis XV said, “Aprés Moi le déluge,” which roughly translates to, “You’re all fucked now.“

Correction

In the Nov.5issue ofThe California Aggiethe article “Chancellor Vanderhoef talks finances with students,” referred to Dr.Dorje Jennette as “Droje” as well as subsequently incorrectly referring to him as “she.” The article also quotes Dr.Jennette as referring to a study done by the American Psychiatric Association,when he was referring to a study done by the American Psychological Association.The Aggie regrets the errors.
