Why the U.S.A. Will Now Collapse!

The other day I received an invitation to participate in (possibly present a paper at!) an Academic Conference at Oxford.

Sadly, when I read the cost of attending ($2,940 + Air Fare), I was utterly amazed at how 'dirt-poor' the U.S.A. is becoming, at least when compared to the European Union!

I will diligently try to save my own, hard-earned dollars to actually attend this conference (e.g. with degrees from places like Davidson College and Duke University, this is where I should be . . . :-), but sadly, as an Instructor at a publicly-funded college in St. Petersburg, Florida (U.S.A.), the people who 'run the show' are pernicious in excluding the best & brightest (Yale, Duke, etc.) and politically "rewarding" each other for their own lack of academic achievement . . . So, Oxford University comes calling and sadly, the poor, run-down public school system (St. Petersburg College!) is left to wallow in its own misery! After all, as The St. Petersburg Times newspaper has been diligently reporting, when people with only bachelor's degrees (and from agricultural institutes no less!) are "rewarded" for their political loyalty (i.e. by the President of the College!) and paid $60,000+ for their mediocre academic level (and again, over institutions of higher learning such as Duke, Yale, Notre Dame, etc.!), then the end result is a disloyalty, distrust even of the entire publicly-funded higher educational system!

The St. Petersburg Times alerted the public to this malfeasance, but in the wake of a Trustee's audit of its own hiring practices, sadly, the damage is already done. I must now apply outside of my hometown, work every alumni connection that I know, and possibly simply take a job outside of Higher Education.

But, Oxford University is still there!

Notre Dame, Duke and Davidson are all top-tier colleges and universities (i.e. Top 20!), and thus, the WORLD FINANCIAL ELITE will now capitalize on the illegal, discriminatory hiring practices of St. Petersburg College and other institutions built on cronyism, insider status, etc.

So, if anyone wants to help "fund my way" to Oxford, please remit any checks or money orders as follows: Rob J. King, c/o Jesus the Messiah-Christ, 12 Apostolic Drive, New Heavens and New Earth, 219 7th Ave., N. Apt. 2, St. Petersburg, FL 33701. (the second part of the address is my real mailing address!)

Blessings & Love in Jesus Christ,
Rob
