August - I want you to know that I understand what you are saying. I think you and I may very well have taken the same college courses, perhaps even the same major. It is hard separating the academicia from the emotions, isn't it? Much of your perspective/construct is so correct...it's almost painful to read.
You are three years younger than my son. I know the time period you were born in...I was there, I surrendered my son in that era. If you need to talk, I'm here...I promise I'll listen. Just send me a private message (PM)...sometimes, it helps to vent to someone from those long-ago days.
