The Tutor

For those seeking knowledge
By going to college,
Learning will be by rote.
They’ll develop the skill
Of the run-of the mill,
And the world will change by their vote.

But the powerful few,
The eternally new,
Seek a tutor that’s greater by far’
Than those who pass on
Conclusions foregone
That prevent you from being who you are.

Don't let us be told
By those who so bold
Claim the truth with rhetorical bluster,
To gain knowledge complete,
You must sit at the feet,
Of the Wright Brothers’ flight instructor!

You have me suddenly thinking of a certain college professor who stood out among other overeducated goofballs at my Alma Mater.
He is no one who is famous.

Fabricated mud to throw may well be waiting to happen.
IMO, this is good verses evil.

I'm reminded what happened when Candidate Obama told Joe the Plumber that he was "going to spread the wealth around."
The media was so afraid that Obama's admitted socialism would cost him the election that MSM and the rest of the left-wing media dug up dirt on Joe the Plumber, all jumping up and down like monkeys and yelling "Lookit this! Lookit this!"".
I have yet to wrap my brain around how what Obama said could relate to anything to do with Joe the Plumber's background. Furthermore, Joe was not the one running for POTUS.

Walker is right.
A person whose life experiences as well as his rational mind can be a better candidate than the most overeducated goofball.

Obama's education is also transparent........you don't see any of it ............right?? ;-)

I did not know 0 had received a degree since no one has ever seen it.

Hmmm, does anyone besides me find it rather odd that these liberal elitists who have a complete dependency on high school drop outs to keep them in office would carp about a real producer who dropped out of college? Just for the record I am a self-made-millionaire-college-dropout. I left for personal family reasons and will not discuss it. When I left I had a QPA 4.0 and just passed a calculus exam with a 98% (had 100's up to that point so I don't know what happened and never asked - didn't care at the time and still don't). When I size up a candidate for my vote, I want to know what he/she has done that is pertinent to what I think he/she will do while in office. Institutional credentials are not in the equation.

The proof here is what Scott has achieved. Education is learned many ways, and while there is nothing wrong with getting a University education, that is not the only way one learns. It is truly egotistical to look down at a person who learned away from the Ivory Tower.

Obama must not be too proud of his degree. He refused to release his grades or any papers he wrote while obtaining his "prestigious" education. Still curious how he paid for it.

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has a DEGREE from YALE...
just another point to ponder, shake your head, and PUKE!

To see how hard the MSM is already working to dig up something on this guy, they must really be scared that he'll run.

That's something that's become obvious to me in the last couple elections: the more that someone looks to be a viable Republican candidate, the earlier the MSM goes after him/her, the more voraciously they try and dig up something---anything--from the person's past that could be used against them in the court of public opinion.

Maybe it's been that way for a lot longer. It just seems much more obvious to me recently.

Scott Walker speaks the truth here.

I have an Ivy League degree. In fact, I have two Ivy League experiences under my belt: my Bachelor of Science (in Engineering and Applied Science) from Yale College, and my Fellowship in Medical Information Science at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

So if anyone knows what value an Ivy League degree truly adds, I would.

And I can tell you: those statist theorists and politicians out there, vastly over-rate the Ivy League degree, and indeed any college degree.

And Rand knew this. Did not Fred Kinnan, head of Amalgamated Labor of America, scornfully say that "outside of your college-bred pansies there is [not] one village idiot whom you're fooling"?

I have met Scott and he is simply a great guy. Could we get a better president? Sure. But if Scott were to make it to that office we would have the best person in my lifetime.

The post is enough to make me laugh, without even reading the article. Love the simple truth!
