THE SCHOOL LEFTISTS LOVED THAT WE COULD USE | 2004-12-31

During the Vietnam War, a college (the name of which I have forgotten) grew to gargantuan size.

If you were in college, or a professor, you were exempted from the draft. So this giant college grew up that anybody who paid tuition simply could not flunk out of.

Leftists said they were wonderful.

I remember major features on that college in magazines, but I can't remember the name and I can't, don't, know how to look it up. THAT college had no idea of graduating people.

But what we need today is the equivalent of that college. It was fully accredited.

The reason the professor-priesthood rules is because they have a monopoly on giving college degrees, and you have to have a college degree for almost everything.

So what we need is an El Cheapo college degree.

Let me tell you a secret. You know those colleges that offer on-line degrees? You saw all the noise about the MBA given to a cat?

You can't give a degree to a cat unless a human arranges it.

That was a LOT of work and a LOT of expense somebody went to to protect the university monopoly.

Actually, a correspondence course is MUCH harder than a regular course. You can just sit in class and pass all the courses you need for a plain old basic degree, the one everybody has to have.

What we need is a college like the one the draft-dodgers used, and was praised by all the media. It must combine the easiest course load on earth. The purpose is to get that silly-ass "college degree" with absolutely no effort.

On the Internet.
