“TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING”
I just finished reading the article “The American student loan racket” and it really plays into what I have been saying about McGraw-Hill and the other text book publishers. The entire system is rigged to screw over and enslave the young foolish and naive youth of America. The system preys upon their pre-programed mentality that everyone should go to college regardless if the kid really wants to or if he/she has the basic IQ above that of a fence. My ex-wife was a professor of chemistry and writes for McGraw-Hill now and she use to say that the standard to get into college was if the student could fog up a mirror which meant they still had a pulse.

The education system has become America's youth worst enemy and that seems to be alright with every one as long as the money keeps flowing in. The Federal Government pumps billions into the student loan beast and like mindless drones both kids and their parents take the money so their little boy/girl can be just like everyone else, a slave to the government with no hope of ever getting out of it. The government hands out the permanently addictive drug(easy cash for college) and the other creatures like the universities and text book publishing companies take it from them at inflated prices and from that point the student is trapped.

I know first hand how corrupt and evil the slight of hand thieves can be for I was on the inside and married to one of them. I saw a once brilliant mind(my ex-wife Dr Julia Burdge) become totally corrupt to such an extent that her own son now 20 has not spoken or seen her since he was 16 because he sees her as a creature and no longer alive. This is what the wonderful world of Mcgraw-Hill Publishing has done for my family and all for money and greed and they are, along with other companies and colleges and universities destroying the youth of today.

I took my first chemistry class at the University of South Florida about 1979 and there was a professor there named Jesse Binford who wrote a very basic simplified text in black and white with no flashy pages in it and the book looked like something from the 1950's and it was such a good text that even the graduate students used it as reference. As I recall the text was not published from any big company and was done locally. Jesse Binford use to peddle his English fold up bicycle to the university every day to teach and I never saw him in a car. This is where higher education in the USA is heading for or better put “Back To The Future”, where professors are required to get of their ### and teach instead of using the mega flashy texts.

The government supplied the drug(money) and the parasites feed on the ballooning student population that should not have been in college(trade school would have been better) and doubled and tripled the size of text and even more so in price to allegedly accommodate those that need more flash and dash to understand the concepts that they will never use. One parasite after another feeding on the young and foolish and Mcgraw-Hill is one of them.

The parasitic extermination is about to happen and all the QE2 or QE3 or 4 will not stop it nor will anything stop the collapse of the university textbook empires. If you own McGraw-Hill get out now before their final collapse down and buy them back in 3-5 years when I do. Look at their 5 and 10 year stock chart and read http://fallofthehouseofmcgrawhill.com/ and my other post on the message boards about them.
