I'm sure that *some* American kids prefer lighter college schedules. It
is also true that *some* American kids don't go to college as if it were
a trade school, but, rather, as a way to expand their minds and their
knowledge, and learn how to think critically. There are many courses in
the "liberal arts" that are extraordinarily difficult and require a hell
of a lot more thinking than many of the so-called trade school classes.

One of the reasons why our politics is so crappy in this country is that
too many of the voters simply don't know how to think.
