You may be right.  And I am glad that I visited Turkey in 2008 and not 10 years earlier.  They have made huge strides but there's still a lot of progress left to achieve.  While I was there they banned youtube several times for showing silly (Greek) videos that claimed Attaturk (the republics founder) was gay.<p>However --- what I wanted to say in the first place --- people who can afford it, delight in sending their children to university.  `Hard' (sciencey) subjects are appreciated.
