Duh! Kin anibodi hear reed or rite? Meybe thay kin tock to Dale er X fer us. Message 21538341 Now let's see. The longer you remain in school, the longer you are exposed to professors who tend to have a liberal POV. Think this might have an effect?* Also, professors are largely dependent of gov't funding, even at private universities. Much of the research slush funding comes from the federal gov't. Public universities are. of course, entirely supported by tax dollars. These guys are smart enough to know who butters their bread. And liberals are far more likely than conservatives to favor public funding of anything and everything. Private enterprise is generally viewed as inherently corrupt and evil. (Corruption in gov't? Nah. Couldn't happen!) After 4 (sometimes 5) years of college, you're a grad student. The odds are pretty good that your stipend comes from the gov't. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you? * For my college humanities class, a "term paper" was required. "Term paper" is in quotes because it consisted largely of pitiful photographs clipped out of magazines with handwritten "AIN'Y IT AWFUL!" captions. Honest- -this is what the "professor" (he actually was a professor, although how such a dim bulb deserved that title is beyond me) wanted. In the library, he had a collection of what he considered to be the best "term papers" he had recived over the years. That's what they all looked like. You barely had to be literate to do such work and I consider by far to be the worst work I did in college. But I satisfied the "professor" and got an A+ on that "term paper". Such work would not even have been accepted by a professor in the engineering college (who, BTW, were generally conservative in outlook- -maybe BETTER education has that effect). And anyone who cares to point this post out to X or Dale and piss them off has my permission to do so.
