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... J'aime L.
