re: Random thoughts from attending my niece's graduation from LSU.

Well good for frickin you. For your information, Mr. Know It All, I chose McNeese over LSU. The program I chose benefited me more than going to LSU. Financially, it made more sense for me to stay at home and go to McNeese as well.

I don't regret it one bit. I have a great job because of it. You "LSU is the one and only" pricks can go jump in those damn lakes over there in BR.

And wtf does "people like me" mean anyway? You don't know me, a-hole.

How so? Because I disagree with the stupid assertion that because LSU is good for a poverty-stricken girl from Lake Providence that it's good for everyone?

That's as dumb as the "college is for everyone" argument.

There is a reason there are other options out there...because every person is different and what's good for one isn't necessarily right for another.

I've yet to see a good reason for why LSU should be the only option. Hell, let's take this a step further. Clearly higher education isn't a priority with Louisiana politicians. And I'm sure the girl from Lake Providence (the litmus test) could have done well at UT, Ole Miss, Arkansas, etc. So why do we need ANY universities in Louisiana?

We need a smart plan for higher education in Louisiana. Closing every university not named LSU at the whim of some guy who sat through a graduation and watched Mary Lou from Lake Providence live a dream is not that plan. It's an obnoxious and condescending view of a man with a superiority complex.
