Another annoying thing about academia is first, you teach stupid undergrads who just want to go through
the motions so they get their trophy wife and beemer at the end of the road. Second, you don't have
much freedom, since the money for research comes from folks with agendas.

Speaking of which, pretty cool that some robo-cars made it across the desert on their own this year.
Of course, they will be bringing in supplies to the next country we invade. That should make for
some interesting freedom-fighter vs. robo-car wars. I wonder if the future robo-cars will be
able to shoot. Of course they will. And if we shoot the wrong person, maybe a robot will deliver
the "compen$ation" to the family.
