Elections are won and lost, every round. Phil's battle about the humanities likely misses most of the point. You can't run modern civilization without highly developed institutions - economic, medical, technical in so many ways, science itself is beholden to elite developed and maintained knowledge. You need an education system which meets all those needs. No disagreement from me that the humanities are important.
