I often wonder about the kind of people that go on to college when they're not interested in learning. Is it peer pressure? Parental pressure? How come that pressure hasn't extended to the classroom, then? You want to party? I mean, you don't have to shell out $10~40,000 a year to party (and really, if that's your specific aim, then skip the college and live on Cristal).

Anti-intellectualism is very much a part of American culture, and I think term paper buying is just a symptom, not the disease.
