I realize that Bill Maher is still on the opposite side of me on many issues, but damn, isn't it refreshing to find an old-fashioned liberal who can still think?

doomed, but defiant to the end
“Colleges have turned into giant luxury daycare centers with overpaid babysitters anxious to indulge every student's whim,” Maher continued. As examples, he cited luxury water [parks] at Texas Tech, the fact that one-third of college students report studying for less than five hours per week, and courses that fixate on the topic of racism — or, in Maher’s words, “You Owe Me an Apology 101.”
Pointing out that the percentage of college students who receive A’s has increased from 15 percent to 45 percent in the last six decades, Maher quipped that grade inflation is not due to college students “getting smarter.”
While Maher believes that being transgender is innate, he pointed out that kids also have phases. With young kids, he argued, it’s “very hard to know when something is real or just a phase.”
“They’re kids. It’s all phases. The dinosaur phase, the Hello Kitty phase. One day they want to be an astronaut, the next day you can’t get them to leave their room. Gender fluid? Kids are fluid about everything. If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses.”
“I wanted to be a pirate,” Maher admitted. “Thank God nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and pegleg surgery.”
