Book TV

the way to get a B.A. is by being well versed in BS, and the way to a P.H.D. is to just pile, higher, and deeper.

I heard that today while watching my favorite weekend distraction of Cspan's Book tv. They were discussing Allan Bloom and his criticisms of American collegiate education. It was way up my alley as I find myself more and more frustrated by this experience of college. But biking around the city last night I realized my privilage, my ability to find work after college will be greatly increased. Work is really the thing that most people dedicate their lives to, by choice or obligation. Besides sleep I wonder what besides work is really as encompassing in the lives of people?
