Higher education riots

Amazing: I just read an article on the Moonbattery website about the student riots in Britain over the increase in the cost of higher education. I agree with the site's author, Van Helsing. Since when is higher education an entitlement? It's not. Yes, I know that it is virtually impossible to get a good job these days without a college degree, but that's because Liberals have established a marketplace where credentials mean more than knowledge and/or experience or practical know how. Not only that, what is the market for Philosophy majors or "Victim Industry" Studies majors? There isn't one, except for a very limited amount of positions in colleges and universities.

I'm so freekin' sorry that a lot of you spoiled brats just might find yourselves having to work some manual labor job that you consider beneath your dignity. The problems is, too many people are going to college in the first place. If you Liberals think that increasing federal funding so that more people can go to college is the answer, you are seriously misguided. First of all, if the government offers free higher education, it is going to limit the number of college students due to cost factors. The majority of you will not be allowed to attend college. You will be forced out into the workforce and into a career chosen for you whether you like it or not. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Here's the plan as I see it, and I hope that the PhD in "Revolutionary Underwater Basket Weaving Studies" working for $10 per hour at Borders Books gets it. Life isn't fair, and your choice of field of study has determined what you are worth in our Capitalist society. Yes hippies, Capitalist, that horrible word. Until the time when you get your Socialist dictatorship, you will just have to accept that there are people like myself that are not going to bow and scrape to your "superiority." I, and millions of others like myself, are not going to be the slaves on your "plantation." We do not consider you to be our betters. In fact, we hold you in the same scorn and contempt that you hold us. The difference is, we are the ones that fix the things that you break, and please remember that those of us that fix things for a living, are perfectly capable of breaking things and passing the blame up to you. Are we anti-education? No. However, we want real education reform and a return to high standards, strict discipline, and civility in our schools. Also, we are sick and tired of your excuses about how and why certain kids can't read. It's because you Liberals screwed everything up.

Could Britain's education riots happen here in the US? Yes, they could...and I would hope that Conservatives would put a stop to them once and for all. We need to become a lot less spoiled.
