Beloit College: Mindset List 2011
Beloit College is back again this year with their Mindset List for the graduating class of 2011. Here are a dozen of my favorite items from the list.
- What Berlin wall?
- Humvees, minus the artillery, have always been available to the public.
- Rush Limbaugh and the “Dittoheads” have always been lambasting liberals.
- They never “rolled down” a car window.
- Nelson Mandela has always been free and a force in South Africa.
- Russia has always had a multi-party political system.
- Wal-Mart has always been a larger retailer than Sears and has always employed more workers than GM.
- Al Gore has always been running for president or thinking about it.
- U2 has always been more than a spy plane.
- Women’s studies majors have always been offered on campus.
- Tiananmen Square is a 2008 Olympics venue, not the scene of a massacre.
- MTV has never featured music videos.
Huh? MTV doesn't feature music videos? Is that a typo, or a joke?
Boy, I really feel old.

Nope! Mostly goofy reality shows. I loved MTV in the early years but gave up on it long ago.

Great stuff!
I copied this for my talks to people about my college ministry outreach... It's fun to get this perspective!
