Bastardize Math and We Will REALLY See Decline

No, no, no. 

Math is what keeps planes from falling out of the sky, math keeps the lights on, keeps things from blowing up, keeps food on your table, keeps drinkable water flowing into your home.  Bastardize the liberal arts and your get dopey policy and insufferable youth cohorts, bastardize math and you have physical decay of our standard of living.
