      Because Universities aren't there to educate, they are there to;
      Steal your private 'property' (textbooks, fees, union dues etc.)
      Protect the 'life' to which it is accustomed (Doing absolutely nothing to facilitate your education other than using convoluted language that results in absolutely nothing being said in the duration of an hour long lecture, therein necessitating the purchase of their overpriced tombs of even more convoluted waffle!)
      And the above two points being firmly sewn up herein, take a f*****g 'liberty'
      I hope that helps..........!
      P.s. You're hot, but I'm guessing that's something you already know?

    And then I found this
    Thank you Mr. Byrd for saving my life AND still giving me the sufficient content that I needed
    5 years later, I still remember everything that you've tackled in the vid
    You really are a great and efficient teacher
