Mycropht Begs to Differ:

I really like her work, and I'm pleased that others have chosen to give her
this nice perk.  I would, however, disagree with the above.  I have several
family members who have earned doctorates in Medicine, Philosophy, Law, and
Divinity.  I've watched these men and women struggle for years to pay for
school, working 48 hours without sleep and studying diligently to become
skilled at their chosen discipline.   
I'd like to think they deseve their titles maybe a little bit more than
someone who didn't go through all of that.  

Just my opinion.  Sorry for the controversy.
