Of course that's your contention. you're a first year grad student, you just got finished reading some marxian historian - pete garrison probably. you're gonna be convinced of thought till next month when you get to james lemmon. That'll last till next year you're gonna be in here regurgitating gordon wood. talking about...you know.. the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital forming effects of military mobilization 2)actually i won't because wood drastically 1)wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinction predicated upon wealth especially inherited wealth? you got that from vickers. working essex county page 98 right? Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us or do u...is that your thing you come into a bar you read some obscure passage and you pretend..you pawn it off as your own...as your own ideas? just to impress some girls, embarass my friend? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. one- don't do that, and two- you dropped a 150 grand on a fvckin education you could got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.
No, I just read Vickers, so I'm up on inherited wealth, hunting. But you're no longer the angry, brilliant young mind you once were, just itching to vent your frustrations. No, you stopped hitting the books with a vengeance, and now l've read sh1t you haven't even heard about yet. Face facts, my friend. You're just no longer that good...Will hunting. Now how do YOU like dem apples?
