Joel Callan correctly points out an odd result of the
in-state/out-of-state thing.  But this is just one instance of the
follies that result from our archaic, out of date state/federal system
which was designed for a world totally different from ours.  Just
consider the fact that Mr. Keating has been tried twice for what are
essentially the same crimes to see the waste and inefficiency that
this causes.  Or consider our bizarre electoral college which was
instituted because the man (not woman!) in the street was deemed
unworthy to vote directly for a president! And do you know that UWM
has full time employes whose job it is to determine residency? Wouldnt
that money be better spent in hiring another teacher? I realise that people are
unwilling to tamper with the federal system because it seems to work
better than systems elsewhere in the world that are falling apart at
the seams. But we have to realise that so long as we insist on shoring
up a fundamentally problematic system we shall be faced with illogical
