446. wow - I am thankful for the engineers
and architects and construction workers who know more than basic math because they are doing me, you and everyone else in society a service by knowing how to build and create safe and sound structures and infrastructure.

Thank you Jonas Salk for knowing more than basic math!! Without him, polio may still be a scourge on society.

I could go on but you get the point, I believe. I do agree that liberal arts are beneficial for society but to say that algebra is not is a false argument.
