Before I read the article in its entirety and send off my own rebuttal, I =
just wanted to comment on one of the quotes:

"Other than an uncanny ability to impede potential hoopla and merrymaking, =
I don't understand why these overzealous school marms need to attend a
professional school, and thus be equated with scientists, doctors and
lawyers. I don't even think you need a GED to successfully put books on
shelves. Hell, a properly trained monkey with a fancy hat could probably =
do
that. ..."

Actually, you do need a GED to successfully put books on shelves - I know, =
I have one.  Plus a BS in education, an MEd in Adult Education and an MLS =
- perhaps more post-graduation education than the "average" lawyer or =
scientist.  He's also wrong about the properly trained monkey with a fancy =
hat - I tried that once (well, actually it was a science undergrad in =
disguise) and the only thing he was able to accomplish was preening in =
front of a mirror, making a really annoying noise while hanging from the =
rafters by his prehensile tail, and spitting on the staff and students and =
really p***ing them off.  Fortunately, he is currently working as a lab =
experiment and no longer able to agitate the other monkeys.  (PS - For you =
animal lovers, please know that our monkey did not have a frontal lobatomy =
- apparently, there was no need.) =20

Just thought I'd add my own brand of humor...
