	I couldn't agree more. If the student really wants to learn he
will, and he has no right to be inspired by or taught by a prize
winning prof who mumbles but publishes. Undergrads who can't handle
study or perish can go to hell.
	What this country needs are fewer educated people, fewer
knowledgeable people, fewer people with degrees. This place would
be much better if everyone was flunked and no one ever was taught 
anything (but they can always read the profs dissertations).
	Further more, i think that it is ridiculous hand-holding
to even have universitys; lincoln learned on coal and shovels,
and any student who so much as demands paper or PBS does not]
deserve to learn. On top of that, the best student should not even
be allowed to KNOW smart people - it's an unfair advantage (they could
say something educational).
	Remember, there is no such thing as a good teacher, only
good students (funny how some teachers  consistently get better
students though)

	Yeah, right, when has that ever stopped a thread in rec.games
