Tell us Liebermann, why did you spend 6 years in college to get a 4 year
degree? You told us it was to get antidraft status.

Close.  It was to obtain a draft deferment.  There's no such thing as
"antidraft" unless you're referring to someone opposed to the draft.
There were some other reasons why it took so long, but the deferment
was the major motivation.  For example, I had a part time job for all
of the first 5 years and worked full time during two summers.  There
was also a problem getting into classes required for graduation.  The
colleges were overflowing with students doing the same thing.  Seniors
had priority for obtaining seats.  I had to take some unrelated
classes (i.e. tractor driving and tractor mechanics) in order to have
enough units to obtain a deferment and later try to catch up when
seats in my major became available.  At one point, I was drafted and
went as far as getting a pre-induction physical, but was able to
convince the draft board that I should be allowed to stay in school.

in school you learned nothing at all

Who are you to judge what I've learned?  You didn't graduate from high
school and therefore didn't have any college experience.  By your own
criteria, you're not qualified to judge anything with which you
haven't personally experienced.

You're probably expecting me to get angry and react to that comment.
Being angry makes you happy, so I'll have no part of that.

 I'll just note that Tom has been stuck in high rant mode for several days now. I wonder what's triggered him. Did another crank arm fall off? Did Janet Yellen refuse his phone consultation? Did Trump pass him over for a Cabinet position yet again?   ;-)
