My cousin, who studied psychology, once decried having to learn algebra. "Why? I'll never us it!"This is exactly what I'm talking about. People (children) have been taught to hate learning and it's very sad. People who have not been turned into sheep and can think for themselves love learning. Others just want to follow the flock and not have to learn what isn't needed. How sad. I know extremely intellegent people (much smarter than me) who actually hate learning anything outside of their main interests.
Oh well. You just stumbled over what is one of my pet peeves.
