Ok, chuck the MBA diploma then but surely art, literature, history, music, philosophy, mathematics and science will still need to taught and someone will have to teach these subjects, along with basic survival skills such as farming, animal husbandry, carpentry, black smithing etc.. etc..
Why?....I find that most of our real honest culture has gone down the rabbit hole with Ipods,boomboxes and other noise makers. Hard to find good authors these days. A few are still around but few. Check the local theaters for some really sad noxious flicks.
Oh..say how about that last Chuckie movie or another Texas Chain Saw movie?
I used to go to the movies quite often. Haven't been in a couple months now. Its a wasteland. For music I have to go back to Bluegrass. Todays country is morphed into bimbos doing bumps and grinds and the Dixie Chicks. Real culture. Speaks to the inner man then!
When was there last a real philosopher? Only Robert Pirsig comes to mind.
Plenty of those who teach philosophy but no philosophers.

Airdale;
Tend to agree.. but I gave myself a rare 'movie night' this week and went to see Angelina Jolie in 'Changeling'.. which I thought would be a wierd but tolerable Sci-Fi/Horror piece.. it's what I get for sometimes going in blind to a movie.. but it's a REAL FILM! By God, someone made a real movie (Clint Eastwood, as it happens), and nobody told me! Check it out if you get the hankering for some decent storytelling. It's not soft or light, by any means.. it's the guy who made 'Unforgiven', after all.
