This is one of those occasions when manifestation won't work, or did you miss that in your comparative religions seminar? :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

😁😁. Saying that “a lot if STEM grads can’t read or write” is like saying that “a lot of liberal arts grads can’t add or subtract.”  Except that there is more truth to the latter statement.  At least one UMD law professor told me that some of the best law students in his class were STEM grads.

[b]Just look at how many liberal arts grads in law school have so much trouble with the Rule against Perpetuities.[/b]  They can’t even grasp the Learned Hand formula in torts.  What a joke.  And don’t get me started on how liberals arts grads are so good at “critical thinking.”  No, most of them are not.  Most of them party for 4 years.  And don’t forget that most liberal arts graduates are NOT from HYP or SLAC.  [/quote]

What? Where did you go to law school? *No one* at my law school had “so much trouble with the Rule against Perpetuities.”  It’s just not that hard.

The “some of my best students were STEM grads” statement sounds pretty condescending. You may not have grasped that, being a STEM grad and all. [/quote]
