A Whole Other Country

A Marine trying to enroll at the University of Texas was surprised to find he was no longer a state resident -- even though he had a Texas drivers license, car registration, and bank records.

The University says he spent too much time outside the state -- serving two tours of duty in Iraq.

That means his tuition shoots up from $500 to $2,600. (FOXNews)

heard about this yesterday on the radio and was a bit shocked, until I realized that this is just another example of a nation running around without any Common Sense.

Ironically, Texas law provides for illegal immigrants to attend the school for the in-state tuition price.
