Gen Ed: Afflicting the Comfortable, Empowering the small whys, hows, & o mys

Dear Colleagues across the Curriculum:

Gen-Ed (liberal art): not to be collapsed,
conflated, and confused with those majors,
minors,and capstone concerns (liberal arts).. 



I'll never mention the Trojan Horse again!

Laocoon might of had his gen-ed intact but
not so much his colleagues the Trojans.

What! Look a gift horse in the mouth! Are
you crazy?  Etc?

You might could wonder what a gen-ed is
good for.

I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain!
One always finds one's burden again. But
Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates
the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes
that all is well. This universe henceforth without
a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile.
Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of
 that night-filled mountain, in itself forms a world.

The struggle itself toward the heights is enough
to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus
happy   (Camus)

Always: for the sake of argument.
