I'm pi**ed!

The city of Boston doesn’t pursue peace; instead, its pursuit is piecemeal. Harvard University, MIT, Northeastern University, Boston College, Boston University, and so on and so on. Yet we can’t identify even one Ph.D. professor who's poised and pragmatic enough to resolve our youth violence pandemic. Those academic sorts studied for the answer, right?

Or could it be that a little black girl from the backside of the bricks has an answer? Or is it an answer unworthy of consideration because she forgot to demonstrate some fancy mastery of a particular field? I’ve done intensive research and study, but according to the readings, “What society needs is individuals with high levels of education to solve problems and enhance the lives of others.” You really ought to read that using the fancy voice that comes with being a Doctor of Philosophy. Go ahead, real fancy-like, read it again: “What society needs is individuals with high levels of education to solve problems and enhance the lives of others.”

I presume living a Ph.D. isn’t prestigious enough. I’m pissed, can’t you tell?
