> You learn to think, at least in certain ways

I remember getting a C on my economics exam. I asked an upperclassman to look at my answers, and what was wrong with them. He laughed, and said my mistake was not regurgitating the prof's leftist ideas. (At one point in class the prof stated that he believed in the equal distribution of all income.)

I never bothered taking any subjective liberal arts classes after that. After all, I was paying the tuition bill.

Oh, that's what happened to you! I wondered where that came from.

My dad, in later life, was a business/economics professor. I received a kitchen table education in economics from him. He & I would talk for hours and hours, sometimes to the annoyance of other family members.
