I've always been of the opinion that "education" is really
curiosity
and that formal education is merely a process by which information
is
presented in ways that provide some order to the process and is not
essential for one to be "educated". Some of the smartest people
I've
ever dealt with have high school educations, but are well and
widely
read, have sound knowledge of basic mathematics (arithmetic,
geometry
and trigonometry) and an insatiable curiosity about the world the
surrounds them and what goes on in it.
A good formal education is an indicator for many of intellectual
curiosity. It is much more than "merely a process."

While no one can deny the intellectual and worldly success of the
self-taught in many fields, the fact is that a college degree is at
the very least a rough indicator that its "owner" had enough
self-discipline to stick with a course of study, and satisfy the
intellectual requirements and standards for graduation.

At its best, a good formal liberal arts education forces you to
think way outside the box, and exposes you to ideas and people whose
backgrounds and thoughts are very different from yours.
Bull****. There has emerged a culture within the academic system in
which only one set of liberal or progressive ideas is believed and
discussed.
Awwwww....Tom's ideology is going down the toilet, where, of course,
it belongs. You righties are getting stranger and stranger..."Black
Man in the White House" is really driving you over the edge.
A black man in the White House is meaningless to a guy who won a court
case to adopt a homeless state orphan who was black. A black Marine's
blood runs in my veins and saved my life. I don't see color - I never
have, I never will. It's only "progressives" like you who see color
in humanity - ordinary people like me live the ideal of "not be judged
by the color of their skin but by the content of their character".

You owe me an apology.
Ok:

Tom's ideology is going down the toilet, where, of course, it belongs.
You righties are getting stranger and stranger. "Black Man in the White
House" is really driving all of you righties *except Tom* over the edge.

Better?


No. And that's the last time you will ever engage me in a discussion on
anything.


This just shows everyone, once again, what a low life piece of **** Harry
truly is.


Hehe... like we really needed a reminder. ;-)

He keeps comin' back for more though!
