Yes but they are watered down courses that don't require (or teach) in

real thing.

No, I didn't *know* them all but I met many of them. Meeting and knowing
aren't the same thing. I knew Truman best of all, though, and I spoke
with him frequently when I was working at the paper in KC, and saw him
personally several times a year in Independence. He was quite
approachable, especially to his neighbors and friends.

Did you ever criticize him regarding his lack of a college degree?

You are guessing that any of it is actually true. One has to wonder how someone who tells tales of being in such famous company and doing such grandiose things can end up such a failure living in a basement?

A lack of integrity never kept Krause from praising himself!

There are huge gaps in his life story that he chooses to ignore. It
would be interesting to hear the version that his ex wife would tell.

Both his Ex Wife and Daughter have restraining orders against him.

I think at the core of your anti-academic belief system is compensation
for the fact that you never really experienced college. I don't know
why...it certainly couldn't have been $$$, because any bright kid could
have combined scholarships and student jobs to make it through without
student debt.

No not at all, the main reason I did not pursue college, under the GI
bill, was because I was offered a job that was as good as what I could
expect 4 years and thousands of dollars later.

2. No, I'm not. I asked you - twice - a fairly specific question that
had nothing to do with something you read and reported on in high
school.

You obviously don't understand that you aren't in charge here, and can't demand answers that you seek.


I asked, asshole, I didn't demand.

You asked me to create a case for something based on a theory I did
not agree with. I gave you the best case I could make for how the
exceptionalism created by the pioneering experience would affect the
advancement of black people and I gave it to you. Pioneers were less
likely to have prejudices against black people.
If I step back and look at Turner a century later, I see a different
thing. That pioneering spirit and independence that exists is still
concentrated outside the big cities in flyover country. The people in
the cities, like you, are reaching back to Europe for the model of how
you want the democracy to go on. You want an all powerful government,
more akin to a monarchy than a democracy.
Is Trump the outcome of that experience Turner says molded our
democracy?

Gee. I guess you should have informed Bill Gates, Steve Jobs
Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller, James Cameron, Mark Zuckerberg,
Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Lady Gaga and Tiger Woods (among others) that
none of them were really qualified to be successful in their respective
careers. None are/were college graduates.

You are a classic example of an academic. The schools you attended and
the classes you took are more important to you than what you later
achieved with the introduction of knowledge they provided you.

To listen to Harry you would think he was a PHD from Harvard. He is
certainly making a lot of smoke over a half century old BA from a
university ranked down in the 3 digit category and probably best known
for a fairly good basketball team but we never heard he played.

I am waiting for the "Scary Harry, power forward" stories.

Seems to me that "Liberal Arts" was what you signed up for in college
when you didn't have a clue what you wanted to be when you grew up.

Maybe that was my "Problem". I had a very good idea of what I wanted
to be when I grew up and I did it. Any education I sought was toward
that goal. Once I had a good job, I had the opportunity to seek
knowledge in all sorts of other fields and in other venues.

That's just bull****. Universities typically have "Colleges of Arts and
Sciences," and the courses contained within usually are the same
offerings any student who wants to take can take, assuming the pre-reqs
are met. Once you get past the typical freshman "101" stuff, you are
into the real thing. I'm not saying "easier" courses don't exist here
and there but for the most part what you are describing is fiction. If,
for example, you are "pre-med" in a college of arts and sciences and
majoring in biology, the classes you take are going to be on the same
list of offerings other students in the college of arts and sciences can
take.

Is that why NASA covets Kansas Klown Kollege graduates and shuns
MIT graduates.? You are such a dip****, Harry.
