George Brown attacks Knightsbridge

[DR ANATIDAE]

After George's own efforts failed to get a private educational facility off the ground he became a devout follower of JB (once a world leader in private education - not to mention the millions he made from real degree mills, such as LIAR) and G-G (who has never had any experience, and who definitely has no knowledge, of DL education),  and with it developed an inane hatred of any private educational provider that was not government financed and controlled; particular the successful private educational providers, of which there are around 3,000 world-wide. Not to mention St Clements University - which still operates out of Australia!

In addition I read the major part of GB's PhD dissertation, but nowhere could I find any detailed information about 'degree mills', such as those shown in the following list.

Part of it? Did it put you to sleep?

He applied Mike's Nature Trick, carefully selecting data to prove his thesis. I hear that's called normal research.

But understand that George Maxwell Brown was operating under the most primitive of academic conditions known to modern man.  He had to do all the work by himself, instead of letting 15 friends do it for him like they do at Princeton.  It's a "tradition" there, you know, not really a violation of academic policy.  

Plus even the shabbiest American schools let you have a buddy on your dissertation committee.  If George could have cut his total project time down to eight or nine months he might have had plenty of time left over to include some actual substance or original research.  

Besides, who knows what sort of surly foreigners really operate those websites?  They might come knocking at his door some evening to complain.  Since they have no Second Amendment in Australia, instead of a traditional American greeting of lead mixed with sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter, George would have to serve them tea and biscuits and hope they didn't decide to remove his toupee and polish his bald dome with their knuckles.  

After all, academic research isn't really about self-sacrifice or a search for truth and knowledge; it's a search for self-aggrandizement, resume-enhancement and a better paying job.   Why do any more than the absolute minimum?
