Quote of the Day


"...Higher education — especially at the graduate level — involves learning more and more about less and less until one knows everything about nothing."
- David Barash, University of Washington (not a unique quote to him...just found it in one of his papers)

I laugh at that, but I also know that each of us benefits from more education. There has to be a balance, but more education is generally good.
