Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 "Conservative Arts Major." Good 'un, Charlie! Oh... and if you like Charlie Russell, you might enjoy The Sons of the San Joaquin's tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Jen Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I'm a self taught Conservative arts major. I like Charlie Russel and Remington paintings. ------ I'm not sure why the "arts" are called liberal, or even why half that stuff are called "arts." I think I'd have loved to study physics, but---honestly---ii was unaware at the time that I could do the math. It was Painless who taught me I could. I thought I'd need a brain chip off the Internet, but the internet didn't even exist yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I don't do math well at all but I took 3 years of college physics because I liked it. It is the only college level course I took that I felt like made sense. Chemistry?? AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH(That's me running and screaming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd need a brain chip off the Internet, but the internet didn't even exist yet. You were a victim of the culture that has always maintained that women are bad at math and science. Who knows how many female potential Nobel Prize winners never went into the sciences because of that? As far as Liberal Arts, I suspect it's due to the evolution of language as much as anything. Liberal did not have quite the same connotation in the past. Like "well regulated" militia, for instance. In the context of the 1700s, the meaning of regulated was more well "functioning" rather than "controlled". But anti-gunners won't accept or address that. Today these people are called Liberals. Back in the day, they would be called Tories....among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
