I have departed from no field.  I have had a hell of a week.

That said, I should point out what ought to be obvious–to say that a liberal arts education (or any other kind) can’t make you good if you choose not to be is not the same thing as saying that a liberal arts education (or any other kind) can’t influence your choice to be good rather than otherwise, or that some forms of education aren’t better at doing that than others.

But I’ll get back to it when I can think straight again.

I need sleep.
