- To make me mad?
- That's right.

:30:03
- To force you...
- To make me mad is your job?

:30:06
To force you to...
:30:09
Listen...
:30:11
Sit down.
:30:15
When I was young,
somebody told me...

:30:18
Are you ready?
:30:19
The rich copulate
less often than the poor.

:30:22
But when they do...
:30:24
they take more of
their clothes off.

:30:26
Years!
:30:28
Years, mind you...
:30:30
I would compare experiences
of my own to this dictum...

:30:33
saying,
"Aha. This fits the norm."

:30:35
Or "This is
a variation from it."

:30:37
What did it mean? Nothing.
:30:41
It was just some jerk thing
some school kid told me...

:30:43
that took up room
inside my head.

:30:46
Somebody told you...
:30:47
and you hold it
as an article of faith...

:30:50
that higher education
is an unassailable good.

:30:54
This notion is so dear to you...
:30:55
that when I question it,
you become angry.

:30:57
Good, I say.
:30:59
Are not those the very things
which we should question?

:31:03
I say college education
since the war...

:31:08
has become
so a matter of course...

:31:10
and such
a fashionable necessity...

:31:12
for those either of...
:31:13
or aspiring to,
the new vast middle class...

:31:16
that we espouse it
as a matter of right...

:31:19
and have ceased to ask
what is it good for?

:31:22
You see my point?
:31:25
What might be some reasons for
the pursuit of higher education?

:31:31
One... a love of learning.
:31:34
Two... the wish for mastery
of a skill.

:31:38
Three...
for economic betterment.
