1. We can concur on the fundamental fact that basically
college kids can be annoying, I believe that it is chiselled
in stone somewhere that they are Morally Obliged to be so....

8-) <--------------------- Please NOTE smiley for the conceptuallyLimited


2. I presume that we do not wish to discuss whether or not there is
a fundamental epistemological difference used in a "Catholic" science
class as opposed to a Real Science Class....

3. I likewise presume that we do not wish to get into the discussion
of whether or not "Catholic Schools" should recieve any form of Federal
Funding that would mandate that they conform to the Laws of the State
and the Liberties ascribed to the Citizens of the State... { please note
that in the wonders of Federal funding I also include the matter of
research grants by Federal Organizations, and disorganizations, including
but not limited to the NIS, CIA, DOD.... }

4. Having said all of that I raise the smaller question, as I was
once a student at St. Olaf College, a Noted Norwegian Lutheran School
in the Upper Midwest, Old, Dear, Stained O'Laugh Upon the Hill. Should I
have attemtped to become Norwegian, or Lutheran, or both while in 
attendence there? Or should I, like the exchange students from Norway,
giggled at the remenance of a memory of what norway was like in the
middle nineteenth century, paid my respects to this monument to 
social digression???? And then carried on with my studies in mathematics
and the like, not worrying if I was getting the Norwegian Lutheran Version
therein, or whether or not I was merely getting the SeXularHumanist
version of the subject!!!! { gee, I wonder if Bertrand Russell's 
writings should be allowed in such monuments to Moral Piety???? Hum,
Now that I think about it, whitehead would need to go, and so would
decarte, and pythagorus, and .... }


ciao
drieux

ps: I'm all in favor of being supportive of minority rights, and
the maintenance of cultural diversity.... Its so hard to find 
decent schools that are truly dedicated to the socio_cultural 
needs of GI Brats from the International Section......
