- More's the pity that this is "no joke". I'm afraid that there *is* a decline
- in the quality of education in at least American universities, but it would
- be far worse if they were to teach classes in New Age pseudoscience, unless
- it were in debunking it with critical analysis. What we need is a more
- solid grounding in foundation subjects, beginning in primary and secondary
- schools, with higher graduating standards in oral and written communication,
- literature, critical analysis, the physical sciences, and mathematics.

- Does this sound like someone with a firm grasp on reality? I mean, I enjoy
- trek a great deal, but I don't confuse it with the real world!
-
- I know replying to this sort of drivel won't make it go away, but it
- really raises my b.p. to see how many people actually believe this crap.
