Thank you Toto. I'm sorry to see this thread devolve (and for my part in it). Reminds me of why I tend to stay off message boards.

Though, also sorry to see that someone doesn't grasp the value of a college education. Often those who so forcefully scorn academia are those who most desperately require it. It is something I had to learn for myself.

Reminds me of the dialogue between the know nothing and the scholar:

Quote:
Know Nothing: what's so good about having an education?

Scholar: did you ever meet anyone who had one who'd trade places with you?

The great scholar Thomas de Aquinas places his foot on the body of the “know nothing” that is the medical men , engineers .architects , plumbers, joiners,... who feed him and are forced to praise that ignorant malignant scholar.
