The Great Lakes contain enough fresh water to cover the land area of the entire United States under 3 meters of water.
We collect 15 video presentations about Great Lake water safety and sustainability prepared by the 8 Great Lake border state colleges and universities and their national and international partners in Canada.
In a state whose land mass was formed by glaciers, has there been climate change in its 10,000 – 15,000 year past? Did the glaciers melt because of sport utility vehicles made in Detroit? We refer you to the Academy of Projectors described in Book Three of Jonathan Swift’s 1726 satire on academia in “Gulliver’s Travels”
When the wicked problems of peace and economic inequality cannot be solved, political leaders, and the battalions of servile administrative muckety-mucks who report to them, resort to fear-mongering about an imagined problem to be solved centuries hence assuming every other nation agrees on remedies of its anthropogenic origin. We would not draw attention to it were it not that large tranches of the global academic community are in on the grift costing hundreds of billions in square-footage for research and teaching hopelessness to our children and hatred of climate change deniers.
Before the internet is scrubbed of information contrary to climate change mania, we recommend a few titles:
American universities are plagued by excessive, cluttered signage — “oversigning” — that creates visual chaos and an unwelcoming aesthetic. This is a direct result of strong social control tendencies in modern campus culture and bureaucracy.
Key causes:
Risk aversion & liability: Administrators flood spaces with warning signs, rules, accessibility notices, and compliance statements to minimize lawsuits.
Administrative bloat: Expanding offices (DEI, compliance, student life, bias teams) create endless new policies that each demand signage.
Bureaucratic inertia: Poor coordination between departments leads to overlapping, redundant, and rarely removed signs.
The outcome is visual overload: too many fonts, colors, rules, and directives. While signage standards try to impose order, the underlying incentives of safetyism, compliance, and norm enforcement continually push toward more signs, not fewer.

Mix all ingredients together. Cut the core from a head of cabbage. Cook cabbage until just heated through and leaves are pliable. Peel off leaves. Put a handful of filling in each leaf and roll up the leaf. Place cabbage rolls in a baking dish.
Mix the remaining half can of tomato sauce with an equal amount of water. Pour this over the cabbage rolls. Cook in a moderate oven about one and a half hours. Serve the gravy on this dish on mashed potatoes.
