Be it that the Arian Nation commits discrimination of the most offensive nature, however it seems that combating these offenses with more discrimination is equally unjust.

Is there not a way to for both parties to educate one another and not dismiss their counters as “wrong”?

While predatory practices by credit card companies may attract some young adults it is wrong to think that anyone would take on unnecessary debit.  Students today must take on debit because of sky rocketing tuition. Then they keep their debit because there are no high paying jobs for new grads. To reduce debit we must reduce tuition, and not increase it by 14% while increasing attendance by 13% like Gov. Chris Gregoire proposes.

The missing part of this discussion is how is the state going to provide these high paying jobs these newly educated people.  As it stands today I have a bachelor’s degree and I can’t even get a serving job. In the future I hope it is not necessary to get a masters to be a bartender, but that seems like the situation that the state is setting up.
