    Good! It means that they will teach to our kids the true American Way(TM). We don't need anymore commies in this country. All Lunix hippies should be expatriated outta here!

    #2: I am quite well adjusted. I just want to make sure that I know something when I get out. It's my money I'm spending, and you'd better be sure that I'm going to get the best education out of it.

    Why would you WANT to be forced to waste your money on humanities courses when you're paying for it?? Personally I would *love* to find a college where I can just take my CS courses and get a degree but everyone wants you to take English, History, Math, Sciences, hell, some even require physical education! What the fuck is this, high school?
