As I look at all the parchment on my wall I realize that all these bits of nonsense are affirmation of my ability to go to school... Let me make this perfectly clear....A document on the wall celebrating your ability to parrot back the "knowledge" you paid to sit for and be entertained by ...is simply an indicator that you're good at going to school.....that's it!
Now if you want to make a real difference in your life your country your neighborhood...you don't need these ingratiating alphabet soup of letters behind your name. Some make the choice to serve their country in the military...some make the choice to be the best that they can be doing whatever it is that they can do....
Drive a bus, pick up the garbage, paint a house, mow the neighbors lawn, doing what you can do to the best of your ability, living with pride and humility, prepared to help when you can, sharing and being sure you're not taking more than you deserve....a zillion ways of making a difference doesn't require "higher education".....it's mostly bull-farts anyway.....
Getting banned for poor or obnoxious behaviour is entirely appropriate...been there....
Getting banned because the "powers that be" don't like what you're saying is something else....been there....
Hey it's all just words anyway....
Hey Colpy....how's it goin dude?...
