However I do have an objection to other posters in this thread looking down on those who don't pay their own dues... particularly those who do not have to pay ANY national obligations.
I totally agree.

On a similar note- I have an objection to other posters looking down on people who are paying their own way either because they want to or there is no other way. For someone to say that parents are bad and putting their children at a disadvantage because they aren't supporting their children is pretty mean.

Not everyone *can* support their children the way they want to, and not every college student wants their parents to pay everything for them, because they might want to get a few extra life skills out of the whole college experience.
