That would work better if we had a generation willing to put in the effort to be "whip-crack smart".

Maybe you and I should recalibrate what "college" and "whip-crack smart" means nowadays.

Um. Wut?

There's another thread about this somewhere; but I thought we determined that if everybody goes to college, you'll end up with is a bunch of janitors with bachelors degrees... The world only needs so many middle managers and telephone sanitizers, right? More degrees don't make more jobs.

Which is why I say pay the ditch diggers and the store workers and the factory people a decent wage. Yes, the world needs these people. No, not everyone needs to go to college. But that clerk at the candy store should make a wage above poverty level.

Or, as Flint said, you have a bunch of people going to college to 'better themselves' and they end up working pretty much where they worked before, making the same lousy wage, because our society only rewards the Tops of the Crops, so to speak. We can't all be CEOs (thank god.)

Someone needs to sell the damn wares. Someone needs to clean the house of the wares. Someone needs to put up the structures needed for the ever-growing technologies.

Not like a boss...

The Boss.

On the other hand - should it be COST that determines who goes and who doesn't? I'd rather see desire and ability determine who gets to go to school. Just because post secondary education is paid for doesn't mean that everyone is going to go - only that everyone has the opportunity to go. And we're NOT just talking about everyone getting bachelors degrees.

What about technical colleges? Plumbers, electricians, firemen, bakers, beauticians, digital animators, carpenters, auto mechanics, rough necks - all trades programmes offered by Schools of technology and applied arts. And what about going to school just for the sake of being a better educated more well rounded smarter garbage man, or shop clerk??

Anyways, regardless if Henry Rollins said that (doubtful on the internet) it is a very naive sentiment, and not thought out very clearly.

Offering free college to big herd of lazy, stupid, morally bankrupt jackasses is going to accomplish, what exactly? If you can't afford college--at the moment--you can already get it paid for, so in effect we are already doing what he says here. The problem is that nobody gives a shit.

He did say it, Flint.
But you have to hear it in context.

Okay, yeah, I'll pass though. I have to go watch a video of a cat on a treadmill, or something.
