"Like H.L. Mencken, Gore Vidal, Ernest Hemingway, and other original Americans, Bradbury 'had the advantage,' wrote Russell Kirk, 'of never attending college,' which 'constricts people,' in Bradbury's words." Bill Kauffman, *Poetry Night at the Ballpark and Other Scenes from an Alternative America: Writings, 1986-2014*

Ah, yes. Constricts them. It puts them in a box. Take these courses, whether you're curious about the subject matter or not. Get the four-year degree. Now go get a job with that degree.
