You know little to nothing of hippies, obviously.
Froggy is just prepping for his upcoming trip to Jacksonville, where he
can protest along with his fellow birthers-teabaggers-health care reform
avoiders.


A lot of these hippies were kids of college profs here in Tallahassee
and I was saving to pay for tuition to pay their daddies salaries. In
later years, these same hippie parasites eventually became govt
workers and often are now upper managers with far greater than average
salaries.



If you were paying in-state tuition FSU during the hippie era, you could
have earned more than enough for tuition, room, board and books by selling
donuts in the dorms.

Are you complaining because your so-called hippies got jobs?


Bull crap. I paid instate tuition in Calif, which had one of the cheaper
state tuitions. $!25 a semester plus books. A good job paided about $120 a
week. Working in a service station, etc was about $75 a week. And you
would have been working part time most likely.

As far as music goes, I always like Neil Young as long as I dont listen
to the lyrics. His politics are basically stupid. I guess musical
talent and making sense dont often go together.


I don't know, Ted Nugent might be up your alley. ;-)

Some of us were smarter than you, Bilious, and were able to earn a bit

I was lots smarter than you. I went to school part time and made more than
the professors. But the average student did not make that much. 1968 the
median family wage was $8600. $9600 in major metropolitan areas Only 14.7%
made more than $15k.

At that time, tuition was about $12-15/quarter hour (we had quarters
instead of semesters) and a full load was 12-15 quarter hours so it
was only about $225/quarter. Rent was a lot more, about $150/month,
roaches were a bonus source of protein. In 3 months, I could easily
make the $225 even at $1.90/hr at roughly 25 hours/week. Working over
summers, I could save enough for most of my rent during the school
year. Utilities? This is FL, who needs heat and AC is never
required. Food? A bag of flour, a big bag of rice, a bag of pinto
beans, cheap vegetables then, cheap eggs, cheap pasta, peanut butter.
Entertainment, my gf and I would collect soda bottles for the 5 cent
deposit to go to a cheap movie.
Today, I am not even sure what my daughter pays for tuition, probably
about $1500/semester at a state school. Rent is about $450/month for
each girl in a 3 room place. Not gonna let my daughter go hungry and
she doesnt eat much anyway so I give her money. We pay her car
insurance cuz a chick cannot go everywhere on a bicycle like I did.
We pay for her gas in her Toyota Echo so she will come home from
Jacksonville every few weeks. She works waiting tables.

In 1966 tuition at Iowa State was $95 per quarter.

I had great summer jobs, thanks to my dad and the union movement, and
earned more than enough to pay for tuition and books. Then, one summer
while I was still getting my B.A., I got hired by the KC Star as a
reporter for about $85 a week. Big bucks...heheh. By the time the summer
ended, I was up to $100 a week and the day city editor and I figured out
a way for me to work full-time at the paper (I worked for the morning
editions, and reported in at 4:30 pm) *and* continue to attend college
full-time. I managed to get all morning classes, did what "homework" I
needed to do in the late mornings and early afternoons, and then headed
for work four afternoons a week. I also worked Sundays. Since I was a
"starving student," the night city editor frequently assigned me to
cover a speech at an organization where dinner was being served. This
was KC in its agricultural-livestock heyday, so I got to eat a *lot* of
steak. Of course, in those days $3 would buy you a top-drawer steak
dinner, with all the trimmings, and I don't mean one of those cheap cut
Outback steaks, drowned in spicy sauce to cover up the fact that the
meat was mediocre.

I don't think Harry's ever been to university. That's why he lied about
attending Yale.

Wow! You did all that and still managed to find the time to boff every
teenage girl in Kansas city? I'm impressed.

You know it's all bull****. He's never told the truth about anything.
Did you know that there's a searchable database for KC Star reporters
that goes WAY back?
