That's true, it's a corrupt game and lest we not forget Obama prattling on about the fine US University system. Sure, and pay 50,000 bucks and you might even get one of those pieces of paper that will open up very few real opportunities. To get a good grade though, you will have to watch your views and so of course you are weeded out otherwise. It happens in the UK too, I realised the game when I was a bit older. It is largely just a game, you follow the rules. Quite the con.

Well, enough of all this bollocks. Time for tea and a film. See you chaps tomorrow. Get some rest!
