Either: a) You're not one of the glibertarians and you're joining in on the game of making fun of them. or b) You are one of the glibertarians and you tried to use some big new words. In the heat of getting excited about using them (perhaps for the first time?), you managed to somehow completely discredit yourself and now with your tail between your legs, you're discrediting yourself even further with a weak attempt at saving face.

Those circus clowns refuse to acknowledge that they will need to service that debt with a paying job in the real world later. This latter class - the Entitlement Generation - compound their foolishness by declaring majors in useless, parasite fields like Gender Studies suited only to social workers, thus guaranteeing their post-collegiate poverty and claimed inability to service that debt. We should not be throwing money after other people's bad decisions. Most GS students I've spoken to privately express similar opinions on the matter.

Beal sounds like a good guy that kept to himself and worked hard to get to this place while also earning himself a spot at Stanford. He's someone who didn't whine about how miserable GS is to students. Rather, he came and did what he needed to and now he leaves with this great prize. Congrats. GS needs more people like this.
