“I'm a product of state schools. I had a working-class family. We had no books. I was the first to go to college. But I didn't really think about it, or about making money. I was just going to be an artist, and I've been fortunate. I've never had to work for anybody nor have I had to write for money. Maybe that's another reason that I've been able to be productive. I haven't had to use my writing to make a living.” ThinkingWritingFirstsBookStatesReasonUseAbleSchoolArtistClassHavensCollegeProductsMaking MoneyFortunateProductiveWorking Class Author:T.C. Boyle

They're getting jobs as TV commentators and journalists and writers and editors and producers in the media. And we're simply seeing the product of what they've been taught. And they so hate what they've been told is America's history and past that they want everybody to know they disagree with it and they've got nothing to do with it, and they had nothing to do with it, and don't blame them.” PeopleKnowsWantYearsSchoolJobsLastsAmericaPastHateSeeingMediaTaughtCollegeTvsProductsAdultsBlameProducersEducatedJournalistEditorsDisagreePublic SchoolCommentatorsSchool System Author:Rush Limbaugh
