Damn it, people who do that are not legitimate students, they are
CRIMINALS planning to defraud the US government and, by extension,
all of us.  Why dump on the honest people who are willing to indebt
themselves in order to shoot for their goals?

Ok.  This is one of my pet peeves too.  When I was in seventh grade, History
and Geography were replaced by ``social studies''.  What a waste!  The
only really good s.s. course I took was taught by a guy who taught it
as though it were a history course.

I wish that history, geography, and political analysis had been humanities/
social science elsectives in college.  The only electives that I had were
in economics (not bad) and philosophy (inevitably taught by someone with
a axe to grind), music (too advanced) and a few good courses taught by the
strangest old bird I ever met in a humanities department.
