-> IGNITE BOOSTERS

I just read the following in net.movies. My apologies to net.movie readers
who are not interested.

	So uw-june!eli finished viewing the movie that he/she paid for, then
	committed petty larceny by sneaking into the adjoining theater to watch
	another movie without bothering to purchase a ticket, and then had the
	gall to brag about it to thousands of netnews readers, and pan the
	movie to boot.
	
	Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this?
	
	"uw-june" is a site at the University of Washington.  The most
	charitable assumption I can make is that this is a student who hasn't
	yet developed a sense of right and wrong.

What am I (a "student" since kindergarten, making it the last 20 years of my
life) supposed to make of this last line?  Is this an implication that
"students" form some kind of moral lower-class?  Does Mr. Klossener view all
academics as some kind of scum, or does he reserve his elevated scorn for
graduate students?  I guess I become God when I receive my Ph.D, is that 
correct?  Or perhaps only those who have happily escaped from education
entirely can develop working moral and ethical standards.
