Oh, I don't know that I agree with that. I went to a state school that
charged all of $480 a quarter. Even a 19-yr old working part-time could
afford $2k/yr. And I think I actually *did* learn something. Where else
would I have gotten to play with my very own live nuclear reactor? I
worked in the Plasma Physics lab, which by itself paid for tuition,
books, and a room off-campus. They had a great mealcard system where you
pay $100 and get $120 credit on your card. All in all, a pretty good
year and a half.

See above re: reactor. No brainwashing involved. Gimme access to raw
fusion and I'll JUMP.
