I agree, I had many conversations with the 'Earth Muffins' types at school about this. I'd say things like: You know, I understand where you are coming from and I agree with much of what you are saying, that's why I don't drink drink water or much of anything from a chemical container made from the evil oil from the lands of sand.
It was fun to watch them get all frothy about the lips or just shrink away. College can be a bad place for a conservative type, but it can also be fun as well. For some reason they always wanted me in the debates; I think wanted to conquer me, but I held my own and garnered a lot of respect.
To tell you truth, one of the things I enjoyed about college was the mutual respect I earned, even from those who disagreed with me. Nobody was more surprised at the way the youths on campus took to me then myself. Education comes from much more than just books. I learned a lot and truly enjoyed it all, even the hours and hours of study.
Sorry for rambling on, I guess I'm really missing being on campus.
