What are your thoughts on private mercenary armies?
Blackwater, although they've rebranded their image, has it's own intel agency, airplanes, operate without legal oversight and they sell guns in war zones.
Is mercenary warfare and privatization of security the future?
The use of mercenaries, or the act of engaging in an armed conflict as a mercenary is clearly outlined as a war crime under the Geneva Conventions on armed conflicts.
They are criminals of the most abhorrent variety.

Yes, I’ve found it curious that, in this country, private third level education seems to be on a lower status than its public equivalent. The public sector attracts a more able and higher calibre student body, and has the benefit of sources of funding that somehow are not available to the private sector.
However, I do take issue with the comment “the idea of private higher education being actually of higher quality and also driven by considerations of excellence rather than profit is not yet common here”. Yes, private third level institutions in this country are driven by profit above all else. But the statement does nothing to recognise the talented, hard-working lecturing staff in those institutions.
Lecturers are expected to put in a significant amount of classroom time with students every year, not to mention pastoral support and trouble-shooting sessions. By contributing the entire financial cost of their education many of the students are demanding on lecturing and other resources on offer. Lecturer’s work is made even more challenging and demanding given the lower ability students our institutions attract.
There has been much talk in your blog at the moment about what a university is for. Unlike the public sector, teaching is the dominant activity in the private 3rd level sector. Lecturing staff are not distracted by research pursuits (though, I can see much value in research activities) or by a requirement to bring funding into the institution. If they want to pursue research (for example, a PhD) it is done on the lecturer’s own time and financing.
Having had experience of being a student in 3 different public sector universities in this country, I am aware of the mixed standards of teaching on offer by those public institutions. I would even go so far as to say that as lecturers, many in the 3rd level private sector could teach a thing or two to their public sector equivalents.
Admittedly, not all lecturers in the private sector have this dedication but a sweeping statement emphasising profit over value does not do justice to those who strive against all sorts of obstacles for excellence in what they do.
At the end of the day, whether I like it or not, the image of private 3rd level education in Ireland is inferior to the public sector institutions. It’s just a shame that image doesn’t reflect the quality work and excellence that many of its lecturing staff strive for.

Chill, buddy. The Big O hasn't arrived at 1600, yet! Trust me, the Calvary is coming, the Calvary is coming.

As far as the image of a private plane…don't most big company CEOs have one. It was just a ridiculous ploy by talking heads to discuss something, ANYTHING, but the reality and gravity of the situation.

What is that you say? The auto industry (AROUND THE WORLD) is coming up on a huge period of contraction. When you design a better mousetrap, you ultimately will sell less mousetraps. GM's real problem is that they are making too much of a product that nobody wants to or can afford to buy. Business is just that simple. RIP GM, Chrysler and maybe, Ford.
