Letter to the Editor:

Congratulations to the city of East Ridge which is blessed to have a leader who didn't attend college. Of all the over-rated combines in this country is that of a college degree. I often thank the Lord, that in His Good Providence, I was spared of being indoctrinated into the jaded philosophies of Darwin, Freud & Marx which are the requirements for going on into higher learning. Of course, when I graduated from Central High School, if you applied yourself, you had the equivalent of four years of college and one only had to go into some special traffic of a profession, such as a lawyer or doctor, to need the few months of extra training to gain your desire. Of course, we had prayer and Bible reading then.

They don't sell ambition in college, common sense or patriotism. What you do gain is a respect for the Air which is pumped into you, once you are given the slap on the back from the Chief of Airs, the pHD. I once attended graduation ceremonies at UT where the graduates were admonished to go out and raise taxes for the school. No wonder they hate Tea Parties.

If you have graduated from one of these higher-learning institutions with a modicum of American ambition or common sense, humble yourself before the Lord and thank Him that you have passed through that fire with His Image.
