Hey it was late when I wrote that -- should have said cooking hahaha.Actually that Philisophy professor is a PHD and he actually made a lot more sense than most professors and PHD's I've read. The main point was tackle big issues.
We spend HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of hours on one man on death row (ONE person MIGHT be killed if it turns out he was innocent) - now count the hours over that duration where THOUSANDS of kids die daily in South Africa -- the coverage by the media - the money fighting the legal battles to argue over the "principle" of the right or wrong of the death penalty while that money could have gone to something actually useful.
This does not mean I agree with that professor - but his points were reasoned defendable and logically sound and very likely intended to spark debate - which so FEW University classes elicit. Very few classes in 13 years of University had raging debates and had people engaged and arguing philisophical points -- And he practiced what he believed in.
Incidentally, the University I attended we had Ex Harvard and Berkely Instructors and I askedhow we stacked up being a relative no-name. He told me that Students getting an A- at Mal-u would get an A+ at Harvard (though not this is not applicable to law or medicine since our school was not focused here). I said are you serious and he said of course the marks are inflated in tertiary subject areas because it reflected badly on Harvard if they had substandard marks. Which explains Bush graduating.
