Good article. Having just gone through college a couple years ago, I recognize the ridiculous cost for most textbooks, but at the same time I can't imagine having much respect for my school when my education there is so obviously colored by corporate sponsors. At the very least, I can't imagine having any respect for the quality of a class I took that had such an assigned textbook. I also enjoyed the writing style of the article. I just got finished watching "Good Night and Good Luck", filled with interesting, evocative, intelligent sounding news reporting. Its good to know people with that sort of a command of the english language are still around. This comment was edited on Aug 27, 23:06.
