One of these days, I will get myself a sledgehammer. I will engrave the face of the sledgehammer with the world "Reality". I will go around and hit clueless people in the head with the sledgehammer, in the hope that a little bit of Reality finally gets through their thick skulls.

Art majors? Do you know that some of the first people monitored/arrested/killed in any revolution or through the reign of an authoritative government (like we have now) are artists and writers - i.e. "art majors"?
John Lennon should strike a chord in your head for instance. Salman Rushdie is another person of note.
But then again, artists have much more to say and have much more influence than others who just post on OT forums.
And that's reality, academic or otherwise...
