Math and the physical sciences, for example, are included in the liberal arts. === Yes but they are watered down courses that don't require (or teach) in depth knowledge. Ask any engineer or physicist who has studied the real thing. |

I knew Truman best of all, though, and I spoke with him frequently when I was working at the paper in KC, and saw him personally several times a year in Independence. He was quite approachable, especially to his neighbors and friends. Did you ever criticize him regarding his lack of a college degree? === :-) |

One has to wonder how someone who tells tales of being in such famous company and doing such grandiose things can end up such a failure living in a basement? A lack of integrity never kept Krause from praising himself! === There are huge gaps in his life story that he chooses to ignore. It would be interesting to hear the version that his ex wife would tell. |

I don't know why...it certainly couldn't have been $$$, because any bright kid could have combined scholarships and student jobs to make it through without student debt. No not at all, the main reason I did not pursue college, under the GI bill, was because I was offered a job that was as good as what I could expect 4 years and thousands of dollars later. |

You obviously don't understand that you aren't in charge here, and can't demand answers that you seek. I asked, asshole, I didn't demand. You asked me to create a case for something based on a theory I did not agree with. I gave you the best case I could make for how the exceptionalism created by the pioneering experience would affect the advancement of black people and I gave it to you. Pioneers were less likely to have prejudices against black people. If I step back and look at Turner a century later, I see a different thing. That pioneering spirit and independence that exists is still concentrated outside the big cities in flyover country. The people in the cities, like you, are reaching back to Europe for the model of how you want the democracy to go on. You want an all powerful government, more akin to a monarchy than a democracy. Is Trump the outcome of that experience Turner says molded our democracy? |

I guess you should have informed Bill Gates, Steve Jobs Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, James Cameron, Mark Zuckerberg, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Lady Gaga and Tiger Woods (among others) that none of them were really qualified to be successful in their respective careers. None are/were college graduates. You are a classic example of an academic. The schools you attended and the classes you took are more important to you than what you later achieved with the introduction of knowledge they provided you. To listen to Harry you would think he was a PHD from Harvard. He is certainly making a lot of smoke over a half century old BA from a university ranked down in the 3 digit category and probably best known for a fairly good basketball team but we never heard he played. I am waiting for the "Scary Harry, power forward" stories. |

wrote: Seems to me that "Liberal Arts" was what you signed up for in college when you didn't have a clue what you wanted to be when you grew up. Maybe that was my "Problem". I had a very good idea of what I wanted to be when I grew up and I did it. Any education I sought was toward that goal. Once I had a good job, I had the opportunity to seek knowledge in all sorts of other fields and in other venues. |
