It used to be that a liberal arts degree meant that you could read complex material with comprehension, apply logic to analyze positions and come to reasoned conclusions, and then be able to argue your positions persuasively. That education had value.

A point almost completely lost on posters at FreeRepublic. Thanks for bringing it up.

Only a Troll would take the valid observation regarding the benefits of a classical education and use it in an attempt to insult the members of this group.

Only an idiot would believe liberal arts is a science program and then insult the very website she posts to.

That’s funny, I have a liberal arts degree and I find free republic to be just about the only place to which I can present a logical argument and receive a reasoned response.

Careful.
That's the third rail around this place.
One of those delusionals will criticize you for confusing a partial URL for the name of this place, but can't be bothered to spell "bait" or "four" correctly.

A balance of liberal arts WITH a technical or science education USED to be normal...
