We need to have physical colleges where the kids can engage in open debate and have lots of sex, drugs and rock and roll.

And half of what most of us learned, was debating with each other.

My contention is that 90% of the people are operating at about 10% of their NORMAL capability. Even the educated ones. Adequate learning is a life long endeavor. You don't reach the pinnacle of your intellectual capabilities in four years-lol. You are only getting started after four years.

So lets concentrate on getting people educated and better educated and quit worrying about esoteric shit we don't know anything about anyway like who is smart and who is not using stupid ass tests, as to who is college material and who is not.

Community colleges were clean. All you had to do was register and pay a small fee. If you passed you go keep going.

And my teachers at my community college were every bit as good as the ones I had at the university of Washington or San Jose state. And they graded just as hard.
