Some have come to our colleges. Here are some examples:

But yesterday the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit refused to delay an injunction issued by a federal judge in Utah aimed at blocking the executive decree.

I'm currently listening to a very scary audio book during my commute, "Game Control."

A polemic, it presents several sides in the debate on our burgeoning human population. I am often amazed, and often amaze my students when I point out, that the world's population has doubled since I was there age in the 1960s. The latest crisis is the incursion into Souther Europe of refugees from the Middle east and South Asia. I'm sympathetic, but North America and Europe cannot become the new home of the Southern Hemisphere's excess population. Our economic challenges are daunting as it is. Technology is definitely destroying more jobs than it creates. And the current tumult over violent policing of our urban ghettos (yeh, I know, that's not a PC word anymore... we were in denial until Ferguson) underlines our failure to obliterate poverty in our own allegedly properous and developed nation. So I guess I'm with the 5th Circuit on this one. Sorry, Mr. Prez.
