        There is a world of difference between job training and an
education.  I teach music in Alaska.  However, the most important course
I ever took in my life was philosophy.  It changed the way I look at the
world, and the way I interact with it.
        From your postings, it seems you are quick to judge, and short
on your evaluations.  You discuss who is blind, but have you taken a
good look around?  There are all kinds of fellows who say they have
matured, but they don't realize that maturation is an on going process.
        I shared your view point about how school is useful.  Then, it
hit me!  Like a rock falling from the ski, it hit me!  Why I went to
school.  The answer is very simple, to become smarter.
        Right now, I have to go edit my Masters' project.  There
are some serious changes I need to make in it.  It seems kinda a waste
of time and energy, but the college won't give me my degree until I have
made the changes in it.  Then I remember why I am doing it.  Because I
want to be smarter.  After all, where would anyone use a better brain?
 
Keep your stick on the Ice,
Paul
