I'll Bet This is A Future Engineer

Sometimes you are encouraged about our country's future when you see something like this. Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was:

"Political Correctness."

The winner wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

In the last election I posted stickers I received at Tech football games, by about 2 to 1, the wearers favored McCain.  Engineering student are taught and beaten into submission, that you work from what you can prove by measurement.
Now we know that we were not to by in the overall majority.
Conservatism is based in experience, not wishful thinking.
The fact that the Republican party is not conservative in nature is a betrayal of their voting base, not an indictment of the conservative values themselves.
