The economy -- are we replacing or repairing?

I'll take the .45, but the women can lose the skirts.

Hey, that's one of the rare compliments I've been given on Usenet. Thanks.

You're beginning to sound like me. I bet we both eat the same breakfast cereal.

Environmental Science degree, probably only good for a government job. o_O

Or "public" or "Administration". My first degree I was twice blessed as it was in Public Administration (although in my defense at the time I was trying to a double major in Poli Sci and Journalism and this was close w/o the need for a foreign language-grin). (My next was a real degree in Nursing)

Doesn't nursing tickle or worse, hurt when a teething infant bites down? o_O

You say you aren't a member of PLLCF the admit that you have no idea what it is.

Given the above lie (and your short but leftist-loser history here), it sure fits.

Calls 'em as we sees 'em.

I note that "real" science does not have the word "science" as part of its description. Whereas "pretend" science does.

Just using the scientific method does not make the discipline scientific.

What's your take on "Peoples Republic Of"?

It's a "given" that one goes to college unless one is mentally deficient. Which means that a college degree these days has about the same value that a high school diploma did in the '30s.

The mistake that most students, myself included, make in going to college is to think that the piece of paper and the "knowledge" are what are important. While they are to some extent the really important thing you can get is connections. School I attended had a world class racing driver and a Saudi prince and the hottest pick in the NBA draft enrolled at the time. Think I made it a point to befriend any of them, no, I was hanging out with the nerds in the physics department.

My advice to high school graduates--get reasonable grades but don't make grades a priority to the point that you neglect your social life--join a frat or sorority, get involved in some activities, meet people and make connections.

Really depends on what I needed them for. If I needed an engineer, no, if I needed an elementary school teacher or a personnel wallah . . .

And if you hold people responsible for the names their parents stuck them with you're an ass.

All colleges that recieve any government aid have to practice affirmative action, including Harvard and MIT.

Nonsense. I've edited hundreds of scientific articles and papers, ranging from materials science to statistical health care megastudies and economics. They all use statistics -- often badly, on many counts. The medical people are generally better at it than the engineers. The economists blow both of them out of the water on that count.

People involved in physical sciences are smug elitists who think they're the only ones who do science. Historically, they're as numb about it as a high-school sophomore.

At least the colleges could teach them how to effectively communicate in The English language. o_O
