again that may not be a voluntary class, i know there were PLENTY of retarded classes i had to take (for example, western philosophy) where i displayed JUST the kind of ignorance and apathy you speak of. the reason i took it was because the only other options in that general-ed-section area were intro to music (even more worthless, not to mention a waste of $200 added materials) and like, stupid varieties of art classes (also another $200 in added CRAP that you'd have to buy). i chose to have the LEAST wasted cash and take the least-retarded option, and it was still retarded.
