The Red and Black

In a secret transaction by the UGa Real Estate Foundation, announced after it was a fait accompli, they paid about $7.5 million for the old O'Malley's property in a flood plain at the river ostensibly to house temporary medical classrooms.
The property was barely valued at half this amount by the county or around $3+ million. The taxpayers will be asked to finally pay all these costs but had nothing to say about the likely corrupt transaction in the first place, done in secret.
By purchasing this private land, UGA took it off the tax rolls forever, thereby increasing the property taxes for all citizens of Athens Clarke County forever, but without their consent. Isn't there something wrong with this picture especially when UGa already owns thousands of acres of land in Athens Clarke County which is already off the tax rolls? This secret transaction, likely with an inflated appraisal, not unlike the appraisals in Milford Hills, has a strong odor to it. But this just another example of another day at the plant in the corrupt workings of GEorgia government, shafting the taxpayers whose hard earned taxes, forced under the threats of fines, jail time and/or confiscation of property pay the bills.
It is difficult enough to enforce academic standards for medical doctors at one campus, let alone more than one. This is another reason why UGA must not be involved in medical education. For decades, medical doctors have been treated to a watered down set of physics classes, differing little from high school physics in college. UGA has been one of the great promoters of this violation of academic standards, unbeknownst to most citizens. For years, theoretically at least, even physics or chemistry majors could get a degree from UGA by taking fewer and watered down elementary physics classes. Unless the catalog has been changed, it is still true. Medical doctors are often engaged in research. They cannot fulfill that function properly unless they are properly prepared academically. It is a disservice to them and to the taxpayers who are forced to pay for it all, to permit them to be treated to a watered down set of physics classes. We know today, 2008, that physics is the MOTHER science or the foundation of all science. The laws of physics are absolute and cannot and must not be violated lest one is desirous of buildings falling down, cars crashing and the space shuttle exploding. Ignorant legislators cannot make laws changing the laws of physics and mathematics as one in Indiana once did in his failed effort to legislate the value of pi at 3.0 instead of the correct value of 3.14159... and infinite, non-repeating decimal, being the ratio of the distance around a circle divided by its diameter for all circles. Otto Warburg, M.D., Ph.D., the great genius in biochemistry and cell physiology in Germany (1883-1970) would likely never have made the many seminal discoveries he did, like discovering the prime cause of cancer to be oxygen deficiency over a long period time, had he only been required to have a watered down set of physics classes in school.
Another reason UGA must not be permitted to operate a medical school is because they have sought to permit the American Cancer Society to fool unwitting students, faculty and the public at large about the failed war on cancer and the obstruction of the ACS to even the proper scientific study of less toxic cancer treatments and less dangerous means of preventing this disease than dangerous drugs and radiation procedures like Tamofaxen and mammograms which actually may cause more cancer, other than proper nutrition such as Selenium and foods to increase oxygen transfer across cell walls. After the squandering of billions of public and private dollars, still about one person dies every minute either from cancer, treatment or both. This is over a half million victims a years. This is not success, but failure.
Read the article "The Truth about Hydrazine Sulfate-Dr. Gold Speaks" by Joseph Gold, M.D., 2005 at www.hydrazinesulfate.org.
This is basically a criminal indictment of the National Cancer Institute. The War on Cancer is a patent failure.
UGA must not be permitted to be involved in producting medical doctors.

You guys see the crap I have to put up with every day right? You have no clue how embarrassing it is to have your dad go everywhere and start spouting his conspiracy theories to everyone he meets.

This med school UGA is getting will be a very small one, just like the law school is. This isnt going to be some massive med school that brings tons of people to Athens.
