This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I didn't begrudge him doing that either by jt

and I didn't begrudge Hancock hopping on a plane to visit his daughter in Louisiana over Thanksgiving.

What I do begrudge is the heavy handed tactics that were used to stop other people from doing the same. What I do mind is the "do as I say, not as I do" and "rules for thee but not for me" attitude amongst these jackasses.

Most of all, what I really dislike is these half ass solutions that really do nothing but kick the can down the road to the next generation to figure out because the current politicos don't want to make hard decisions and possibly lose votes. For the record, SAVE changes a lot more stuff than just for people who owe 12K.

The cost of education is the problem; greedy administrators are the problem; the fact that people are now looking at a college education from a "return on investment" perspective is the problem. SAVE pretty much solves none of that.
