KY Jon 's recollection of what a college education was agrees with mine entirely.It is the classic notion of the liberal arts. I also can remember how vehemently it was opposed at the time by conservatives who felt it was subverting traditional values. Keith says liberalism is a mental illness, and what he understands liberalism to be is just that. I would just point out that Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh et al are hardly models of sanity and mental health. There is craziness on both sides of the divide and until we are willing to acknowledge it on our own side, whichever that may be, it will never be overcome.
