Subject: RE: BS: Is Academic authority a lie?
Well, Sorefingers, finally you've said something we can all agree with, to wit: We in America are afflicted with "too much drugs and sex and dyslexions."

I, like most other people with good grammar, am really "a lying nutcase with a highschool cert." (Not to mention a ruthless maniac who moonlights as a shrewd and calculating bookie!) And the sad thing is, many of us in America's universities, as you say, are just like me.

But in your great wisdom you provide a healthy solution! We will abolish all MAs and PhDs! We will also all affect verbal tics and poor grammar because that will make us sound smarter to your ears. Then we will all bow to your superior intellect and lap up your knowledge with our outstretched tongues.

Oh, and by the way: don't bother to provide any evidence for ANY of your claims. I know they're true just because YOU say they are!
