Will HUD's New Rules Desegregate Harvard University









[2 minute video embedded]
[From article]
The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.
[. . .]
Also troublesome to critics is that the HUD secretary, in announcing this proposed rule, blamed poverty on zip codes – rather than other socio-economic factors that studies have shown contribute to poverty.

Will these new rules be applied to Harvard University and the City of Cambridge MA which allows Harvard to restrict its housing portfolio to only Harvard students, faculty and employees. Isn't that a factor in keeping separate the upper class elite from the ordinary working classes with and without a college degree? In addition Harvard segregates further by placing elder persons into one building. What role does Harvard University elitist policies play in keeping some people from rising above the socio-economic level they were born into, from enjoying the pursuit of happiness?

Bill Maher Insults Americans

Bill Maher insults American voters, joining John Kerry and Obama who prefer that only Ivy League educated elitists be allowed to vote. None of these despicable humans shun the money they make from the ignorant taxpayers who they demean.

Off the Record

During a discussion of the possible appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State by Barack Obama, Mort Zuckerman praises it. He notes that she is qualified and reports previous activity by her with foreign leaders. He notes that she asked questions "off the record." Isn't this accepting two faces by politicians? One for their colleagues, and one for the public? Withholding information from the ordinary citizens politicians treat them like secondary class humans. The politicians prevent ordinary citizens from participating in decision making. This is elitism.
