insists on learning about life the hard way. My theory is that
you learn better that way than the easy way. Otherwise it's just book
learning. He's a lot like
his old man that way. I'm
just glad he only sat out one semester
before deciding to go to
school. The next painful lesson will be that
you can get the same
class at a suburban community college as you can
at the urban community
college, without dealing with rush hour traffic.
That one's going to
hurt. Because everyone knows that the suburbs are
populated by
homophobic, racist, neo-nazis and hyper-prosteltizing
christian pink-o's;
and the urban areas are populated by intellectuals,
social progressives,
artists, philosophers, chess players and
punkpeople. Damn its a pain
when the world turns out to be more
complex than you thought.
Another lesson ya gotta learn the hard
way.
