One of my most hated is right

I like to think I'm pretty fair about things and give credit where credit might be due. Thus, I'll agree with Reason magazine that even a broken clock can be right twice a day.

It seems the authoritarian former mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg ( I hate his guts) did well enough speaking to the University of Michigan's graduating class the other day he got booed. What for? Criticizing "safe spaces" and other politically correct stuff in our universities:

"The fact that some university boards and administrations now bow to pressure and shield students from these ideas through “safe spaces,” “code words” and “trigger warnings” is, in my view, a terrible mistake," said Bloomberg. "The whole purpose of college is to learn how to deal with difficult situations -- not run away from them. A microaggression is exactly that: micro. And one of the most dangerous places on a college campus is a safe space, because it creates the false impression that we can insulate ourselves from those who hold different views."

 "We can’t do this, and we shouldn’t try -- not in politics or in the workplace," he continued. "In the global economy, and in a democratic society, an open mind is the most valuable asset you can possess."

I guess I am a bit prejudiced, though. My hatred for him had me thinking he could never say something like that. But, I'll give him credit, yet still hate him.
