In my senior english class, my teacher made us all read a letter and an essay on Liberal Arts eduction. The letter said something like "we need men and women trained in the sciences, not trained in holding a cultured conversation about art. Can a liberal education be defended now?" Then the essay was a LONG responce defending it. I have also had this talk with a good friend of mine who works at the shelter with me who graduated from Whitman, a liberal arts college. The point of a liberal arts education, as apposed to a vocational program, is to become a well rounded thinker. Peter, your remark sounds uneducated to me!

As for liberals-conservatives; Maybe we should realize, that all though someone thinks differently, conservatives ARE human too! Granted there are those who I really don't like (no names needed). I don't consider it mature (not that anyone said this) to say "I have a thing I could improve, but I'm better than him/her." As Sly Stone said, "We got to live together!"
