A serious academic subject... no, it’s not a serious subject. Engineering is a serious subject...Chemistry is a serious subject. Romance studies is a frivolous subject..no different from Political “science”.

I have undergrad degrees in both PoliSci and Physics... believe me, I only had to study seriously at one of those...

USMA ‘93

I am not going to let you off trivializing things that are a lot harder than you make them out to be and your attitude tells me that PoliSci at West Point is not the world's hardest subject. That is consistent with what I know about the depth of instruction at the military academies.

I have a PhD in physics from one of the most difficult schools in the country. I had colleagues getting PhDs in foreign languages and literature and in political science, and I assure you they worked a lot harder and and to know a lot more about their subject than I had to know about mine. I did not, in addition to writing an original research thesis have to demonstrate that I had detailed understanding of the writings and theories of critical interpretation of the 100 greatest physicists in history, starting with Archimedes or some such.
