Does the picture you paint here strike you or anyone else as fundamentally wrong? I know it does me. Colleges see no incentive to modernize and become more efficient, because they don't see themselves as businesses. When I was an academic (circa early-mid 1990s), my department chair actually announced that higher education was perfect the way it is, and there was no reason to change it ever. In fact, my college even substantially raised tuition by 10 percent one year, claiming that such an increase would make us seem more selective.<br><br>There is so much wrong with higher education today that your approach (state school) and gaming the cost system is the only way to go, I'm sorry to say.

There is so much wrong with higher education today that your approach (state school) and gaming the cost system is the only way to go, I'm sorry to say.

Can this be repaired by filling the tooth or will it have to be taken out. It's a nice size hole in a tooth I believe so, I can't get into dentist for a month. What can I do to stop the pain and help the tooth? I tried Ambesol and it doesn't work. I have a hole in my tooth and it hurts.

LMAO! That was hilarious! I loved your humorous interjection on what is NEVER a fun experience. I sympathize. My teeth have been rotten my whole life, no amount of brushing and dentistry has saved me from having cavities in pretty much every tooth in my head. So at this point I have more fillings then teeth!
