--In order to prevent citizens from being ripped off by fly by night education scams, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, has decided that residents will not be permitted to obtain free courses from institutions like Colombia, Stanford and Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, under the auspices of Corsera.

--No word yet as to what the Education Nazis have in mind for citizens who dare to obtain free education, other than Big Mother.

Pournelle's Law of Bureaucracy strikes again.

There is no Government that could not be improved by firing half the staff. The trick is to fire the half that are dispensable, and lose half the departments as well.
