As certain of you get ready to graduate college and university, don't forget you've got a lot of work ahead of you getting an education. First you're going to have to chuck 90% of anything you remember...though the subliminal stuff will be much harder to identify and dispose of.

Remember, school is about passing on cultural lies and getting you to believe them so when the time comes you'll do the same to your children. It has about as much to do with education as a military band does with music. That was one of the reasons I ran out of the art department at Cal Berkeley screaming after one class. It was so obvious that there was more of a cultural attitude being taught than sculpture. I could go to New York and hang out in museums copying the Masters and apprentice with a sculptor...which is the way it used to be...until Art too was harnessed and eviscerated and made a "discipline" where they could "teach" you a definition of Art that's just about killed it. But before I did that years later, I returned to college after a stint with the Public Defenders in Seattle and running my own Group Home for Jubilent Delinquents to get a degree in Sociology...only to once again run out screaming four weeks from graduation. Okay so I'm a slow learner...not in the Arts or Social Sciences, but in the things that count, like what ELSE am I being taught? It came as a shock that I wasn't learning Sociology at all..I was learning "approved" sociology, what I did those four years on my own was Sociology...hell, two Soc departments and several professors tried to have me thrown out of two schools. And the neatest thing of all about the conformity-spewing United States is that they have a pigeon hole for people who think they're beyond one marked, "NOT a Pigeon Hole"...a label that says, "NOT A LABEL". So how bright can our brightest ones be?

The time is coming for you graduates to get an education. Your task will be made that much harder because you think you just got one,..it says so on that piece of paper(how's that for being edjicated?) that cost you so damn much of your Life and time and money. To realize, really understand, how worthless it is...how more than worthless, will be your first major hurdle...Education 101. I mean addmitting you could have studied on your own without anyone charging you an arm and two legs...and most often a cock and one testicle and a clit too, while actually living a life. Even for those of you in the "Sciences"...you weren't in Science at all...you were in "handy" science...profit-making science and no matter how advanced or avant-grade or "new wave" the science SOUNDS like in school...how pure...it too will be put to work killing people and fouling the planet...that's what all this education tends to don't you know. Oh, many of you will have "learned better"...but you'll also be surprised to learn that while you were learning better, you were also learning better than to do anything about it, learning instead how to be duplicitous, to lie to yourselves, to "get along"...not rock the boat...certainly not where your grades were concerned...and what's a paycheck but an "A+"?

To be really effective a murderer needs not only accomplises...he needs a passive and indifferent crowd of innocent bystanders..."knowing better" is optional, maybe even desirable as it upgrades the quality of audience...and THAT, dear graduate is what it was all about...standing around with your finger up one ass, while clutching your credential in your other. And two is greater than one...surely you got to that chapter...no?
