and why this?

Well, I suppose this is what I get for waiting until 12:52 am, the night before class to post my blog. As I sit here in my bed and read through the past few blogs posted, I see that they all are quite similar to what I was planning on blogging. Oh well, I will proceed with my short and simple opinion...or lack there of. :)

In class on Thursday, we discussed the installation of the foot-baths for the Muslims at a private Christian college, where 90% of the students were NOT Muslim. At the beginning of the discussion, I agreed with the decision made about the installation: to go ahead an install the foot-baths, even though it was for the minority because, in the long run, it would aid in the safety of the majority as well (since they had been washing their feet in the sink...YUCK!). However, as we continued the discussion, a statement was made about the Muslim population coming together to raise the money for the foot-baths themselves. Since that addition to the discussion, I have not been able to decide which side to go with. Should the university have spent money to please the vocal minority; or should they have told them that if they felt the foot-baths to be necessary they would have to build them themselves. Either one sounds like a good plan to me. The first, because it does aid in the safety and somewhat well-being of the majority; and the second because, well, if they need these foot-baths so desperately, can they not fund them themselves?

I suppose it is time for me to head off to dreamland and still think about this ever-so-important issue of Muslim foot-baths and some christian university in who knows where?...oh the things I think about too much.
