School/Diligence/Animation

[L. Schulte]

Don Rosa mentioned "his" Scrooge never went to college, wanting to learn 
things on his own through hard work.  It struck me today, looking at and 
meditating on some of my students' miserable efforts in various subjects, 
that there is a growing atmosphere in America that Scrooge would find 
appalling: getting rich quick through lotteries, gambling, or 
swindles.  The fastest growing city in America right now is Las Vegas, a 
city that is based on the "entertainment industry", which should strike 
people as an odd phrase, but does not.
If Disney is closing its animation studio because it thinks the animation 
style is at fault, Disney again is showing how out-of-touch it is.  Pixar 
Studios is a success because of their stories, not the computer 
animation.  "Brother Bear" was just not a very compelling story, more 
politically correct eco-fable than an inventive adventure like "Finding Nemo".
