note to excel noting the critique to erie i thought was question when

the real point is the weakness of the state erie it lets not forget what happened in 2011. a new and young nation going through a process of building. they need a new political imagination and political goals to build modern stability. when the state is not strong enough to protect itself and its citizens, the legitimacy of this state is questioned. you can have different interpretations. every group will give a reading that is not completely correct or incorrect. >> another reaction on facebook. it might be the beginning of season two of the libyan revolution. you know better than most how the different militias work having yourself been part of the tripoli brigade. what are your thoughts? >> i would like to point out that i think a lot of people are sitting on the panel saying that the government is very weak. about that, the government has put itself in this position. we handed not just ourselves, but the revolutionaries in general to have difficulty on a silver platter. there was absolutely no progress by the government. i see very little serious progress on the ground

you cannot separate erie it if you don't do research, what do you teach? >> you can use the textbook from 30 years ago. if you do research, you don't teach. your research may not be as valuable. today's research needs to be more problem. today needs to be problem treatment. if you don't like to teach, why are you in the university? you need to love it. a mix of teaching and research is an essential element. the only difference is some people may do a little more research and other people do more teaching than research. but you cannot separate them. to me, that's the otter in practice and that is very clear. please, do not separate university into teaching and research. >> do you think the government is on the right track? we often hear people say there are too many universities in taiwan. >> i said that 15 years ago. the other element is resources. we have limited resources. we can't do everything. >> we have a declining birthrate, probably the lowest in the world trade it becomes more competitive in terms of recruiting the top quality students available.

. >> there are several colleges in erie, pennsylvania. the most recent stop on that book tv cities tour including penn state erie, gaining university, and lake erie college of osteopathic medicine. >> to look at what liberals did to cause their own decline. liberalism is a slippery greed. you find its roots deep in the american past. i think you look at sort of thomas jefferson seen as the godfather, the progenitor of american liberalism, not to social egalitarianism, but a sense of equal opportunity for all americans. and if you want to a boil what liberalism means coming it would mean, you know, a sense that they did america, one at its best is one in which there is mass social equality and mass economic opportunity. and her to the 19 century it was seen at how to achieve those goals on social equality and economic of rigidity was to keep this a small. 18th-century liberals saw the enemy of liberty, the energy to the enemy of opportunity was a minor key. so in this state was seen him as a rival, as the enemy of these things. by nearly 2

this is a reason ship that was built here in 1812 during the winter of 1813 for the battle of lake erie of the rest of the squadron that was built there. it incorporates the structural frame of the pieces and they are symbolic and what is original but the shifts there is that they are working with what the crew has to do. >> [inaudible] >> we teach people history and the war of 1812 and the will were of the great lakes, really most of the learning takes place on board and is about function with the members of the team's country. it is one of real value now and there are certain attitudes that are affected and we are trying to perpetuate them to keep them going. >> the commander would help lead to victory in the battle of lake erie. the rest of this airs this weekend as we look at the history and literary life of erie, pennsylvpennsylv ania on c-span2 and c-span3. >> i would never ask a negative question. i think it is insulting to the person that you want to talk to and it creates a bad impression about what you're doing. you are you're asking for someone's time because you need informa
