Jerry: I did not “try” to teach at Bennett. I taught—successfully. And I am sure you’re trite phrase has some validity…few of us are free of baggage. You may be the exception.

It has been an ongoing tragedy to see this beautiful, venerable institution fall into ruin. But this did not happen by itself. Perhaps what was needed was a strong and capable person to assume the responsibilities of leader, rather than a "quiet, unassuming guy".

I taught at Bennett, and left a few years before it collapsed. I could see the reasons for the impending demise of the school....primarily the miserable administrative practices, the phony self-serving faculty, and most disgusting, the dishonest, grasping president of the college. A horrible experience for me, and so glad I smelled the coming decay and got out. Had I stayed, I would have lost a lot of time, but was able to create a great career elsewhere so that by the time the college fell apart, I was long gone. It is sad to say that what comes around goes around, and as we say "poetic justice".

You guys need to relax. Why bullshit it up when it means the same thing either way?

This place is gross. But it is still cool. I like it here alot. It is very cool. I wish i could come here everyday because it is cool.
