Ghost Rider: Let's see, the last time we met...
Dunbar: Was U Mass.
Ghost Rider: How nice, you remembered. But of course, that was the day the students marched on campus.
Dunbar: Not an easy day to forget?
Ghost Rider: No.
Dunbar: I remember every detail. The students wore tie-dye, you wore blue.
I think too much emphasis is put on 'experience' in many of these fields. While those teaching the sciences SHOULD have experience, many say that those teaching politics etc should also have real-world experience in their field. I disagree. While it can help to bring insight, it can also corrupt and [further] bias their viewpoint.
