- As sculptor who programs so I can afford my lifestyle, I have to agree,
- that's _very_ bigoted. Hoever, being in the unique position of both
- worlds, I'll say two things: 1. very few computer scientists are
- 'practical' in any sense of the world.
- 2. it all depends on your definition of inteliigence:
- The engineering sort probably has better resoning; the Art History probably
- has better comprehension.
- 3. (oops, can't count)Someone in Art History is *NOT* an artist,
- they need extensive researching, writing, and comprehsnding skills-
- none of which are required by artists.
- An artist only needs the ability to become.
- Some of them are quite the moron and are also very succesful.

- well, that's enuf, back to .personals stuf.
- Anyone around here feel like seeing Malcolm X Saturday?
