old glory
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
For my CLCV 102: Medical Terminology from Greek and Latin Roots class everyone in the class has to post a brief statement on their experiences/opinions/whatever with the Latin language. So far, I'm the only person in my group that shared any negative experiences. In fact, I'm the only one who hasn't gone the saccrine-sweet "Yay, Latin is Wonderful!" route with the assignment. I can only conclude that my class is full of overachieving kiss-asses who had to write way too many college application essays for their own good. Thank God I don't actually have to meet with these people.
EXTENDED RANT: Part of the reason why I think this bothers me so much is because over 90% of the people in the class are pre-med. Doctor's aren't paid to tell people what they want to hear. Doctors are paid to tell people what's wrong and what needs to be done - and the less sugar coating the more likely it is that the patient will actually follow the prescription. We don't need "yes-people" as doctors.
