I remember him chortling about how Chamorro's "unseating" of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua "proved" that Marxist governments couldn't be elected when people had "free and fair" voting. You don't have to be a Marxist or anything to recognize the poor quality of such observations. But Winn also could recognize and accept that students would challenge him (I did on a regular basis after the above corker), and he valued that - so for that I will give him a little credit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-48609555322404857782007-03-23T21:00:00.000-04:002007-03-23T21:00:00.000-04:00And worse IP...I had Conrad Winn for poli-sci 100 ...And worse IP...I had Conrad Winn for poli-sci 100 back in 1986 and 1987 and he was the same. Except back then he was baiting the Francophone students over Meech Lake. He taught the way Robert McClelland blogs, only without actually making good points.<BR/><BR/>The guy was <I>proud</I> to tell us he was a utilitarian and though JS Mill was too left wing.<BR/><BR/>His views make Kathy Shaidle look sane.<BR/><BR/>Gawd help us with him having a hand in government policy.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941875334878452635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9560953.post-238724125177432022007-03-22T21:48:00.000-04:002007-03-22T21:48:00.000-04:00Oh, for god's sake.
