Guns will protect you from tsunamis.

[Ibby]

I said I didn't want a lecture. I learn more out of school than in it, and most of what I do learn in school isn't worth learning to me. I thirst, I yearn for knowlegde, but having it mandated and force-fed to me is not the way I want it. I learn what I'm taught, but I don't care enough to buy into the rat race and shoot for the grades to show it if they dont come naturally. I'm passing, I ace almost all my tests (except in math, but thats a different matter altogether, one of apathy), but I don't do the ridiculous busywork I get assigned. I don't care if that costs me a good college, because as I've implied and outright said, I dont want to be part of the rat race. I don't need a piece of paper saying I know shit to know it. I know what I want to do, and I don't care what I have to sacrifice to do what I think is right.
