And you're right. The irony...Well said, Andrew. And you're right. The irony is rich when someone who hold up signs that say, in essence, "Everything should be free", complains of something being stolen from them. Almost as if they suddenly believed in private property rights! <br /><br />And why is it that the folks who paid $50,000 a year to go to some high falutin' university, find it immoral that the lender should expect to be paid back, but not immoral that they be charged $50,000 for what might be considered a second or third rate education? <br /><br />And if they find it immoral to pay the lenders back (I speak in the backwards parlance of the demonstrators), why is it they never seem to make that distinction until <i>after</i> they have received their education? Isn't that a little like going to a restaurant and complaining about the prices after you've already eaten the meal? <br /><br />Can we find so much as a single protestor who can stand up and say, I thought it was immoral to be charged that much for a college education, and have to pay it back, so I <i>didn't borrow the money</i> ?<br /><br />Didn't think so.Mike aka Proofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08931553845065187278noreply@blogger.com
