Unless, of course, we don't watch it.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Can't watch it.  Sorry.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

This link does not contain adorable puppies doing humorous things, therefore I refuse to watch it.

Haven't watched it, but also throwing this in on the same topic (similar topics are, naturally, pissing me off quite a bit at the moment)

The rising cost of college — even before the recession — threatens to put higher education out of reach for most Americans, according to the biennial report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.

Over all, the report found, published college tuition and fees increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007 while median family income rose 147 percent. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, and students from lower-income families, on average, get smaller grants from the colleges they attend than students from more affluent families.

"If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won't have an affordable system of higher education," said Patrick M. Callan, president of the center, a nonpartisan organization that promotes access to higher education.

"When we come out of the recession," Mr. Callan added, "we're really going to be in jeopardy, because the educational gap between our work force and the rest of the world will make it very hard to be competitive. Already, we're one of the few countries where 25- to 34-year-olds are less educated than older workers."

Although college enrollment has continued to rise in recent years, Mr. Callan said, it is not clear how long that can continue.

"The middle class has been financing it through debt," he said. "The scenario has been that families that have a history of sending kids to college will do whatever if takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt."

But low-income students, he said, will be less able to afford college. Already, he said, the strains are clear.

The report, "Measuring Up 2008," is one of the few to compare net college costs — that is, a year's tuition, fees, room and board, minus financial aid — against median family income. Those findings are stark. Last year, the net cost at a four-year public university amounted to 28 percent of the median family income, while a four-year private university cost 76 percent of the median family income.

Pffft lazy ass kids today.

They didn't snap, they just wanted an excuse to whine. If they really snapped someone would have tossed a Molotov cocktail in the middle of that group of cops... they had no riot gear on and were stuck in a small pile.

But, that's America... when we get good and mad  "look out Kinko's"  

- we'll be printing signs until our fingers bleed from pushing the copy button.

I'd just like to say that I have nothing useful or even relevant to add to this conversation.

No. None whatsoever. Plenty of ideas available, but nothing of what you would call "knowledge".

You could release drugs, but it's as likely to consume as to inspire them.
