I know little about USC-Upstate, at least as it exists now; but I am a third generation USC alumnus - and one who majored in liberal arts and proud of it. The techniques I learned at Carolina equipped me to deal quite effectively with the craziness of the politics of the city in which I live
For I am a conservative living in San Francisco, CA, and my girlfriend is a graduate of Berkeley with a degree in liberal arts.
I don't know your alma mater or the degree you received but apparently you didn't master the most important aspect of a liberal arts education: the ability to think, especially to think and analyze with a critical mind.

I know little about USC-Upstate...

What are you thinking?! NO ONE was slamming Carolina! USC-Upstate has only the worst aspects of Carolina and doesn't serve the Upstate well if at all.

I have been speaking of ONLY the USC-Upstate PROBLEM, which was the broad heading of this FR thread! Sorry you felt I was attacking a liberal arts education in general; I wasn't; not on this thread anyway.

A conservative living near the Golden Gate? Well, do something truly conservative rather than censure another conservative (or get off the pot).
