Thank you for your civil remarks. I'll chalk it up as a disagreement over semantics.
I'm a Geophysics Major at the University of Wisconsin. A Senior, graduating next semester. Can I ask what your degree is in?
If your curious and/or unaware, Geophysicists do a variety of work including Petrology (Near and dear to the Conservative Heart!) and work with mining companies. We also do alot of work in areas of Conservation and Environmental Science. (Near and dear to my bleeding Liberal Heart)
I'm not sure if you consider this a valid path of study for the government to sink 40K of its money into short-term, but I dont think its quite on the level of Art History or Ethical Philosophy, or any of that stuff. Not that I'm opposed to that either. Culture is important, and should not be the sole perogative of the rich and well-to-do.

Psychology. I started premed and said fuck this. Kept taking the courses, just didn't want to care about the grades. I know full well what a fraud most of psych is. I concentrated on Physio and Linguistics. I also think that the idea of "culture" is a fraud perpetrated by ne'er do well jerkoffs with too much time on their hands. The Ramones are more culturally significant than Brahms.
I know what Geophysics is. I took geography and oceanography for fun.

Yeah, me too!
WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In yer face mang!!!
But seriously, I think if you are an American, you have a right to bitch about changes in policy, including those that directly affect you. (duh)
If you are getting a free ride on the government edu-train, however, you have a responsibility to study hard and learn while you have access to the resources. Your society is giving to you. You have a responsability to live up to.
If you're paying your own way, you can piss in the wind if you want. It's your money.
