Ok BB, fair enough. Though I may not completely agree with you, I understand your point. Excuse me for sounding harsh, anything spent or done to further ones education is certainly not a waste, in most cases, as long as the loan is paid back.
I think the real point of this fellow's writing is the fact that so much is made by the Republicans that being Liberal is akin to being deformed. You always hear this crap about "most liberal voting record in the senate", et. al.
To call a person Liberal as if it is a condemnation of their beliefs and philosophy is just absurd, ridiculous, and disrespectful.
Liberals or liberal minded people have been directly responsible for a host of many good and constructive things.
