PENNSYLVANIANS
Destroy what other people think
Chapter 6
You all think you know so much,
2And you probably even think you’re not Harriers,
3bBecause you’re so good at thinking,
4cBut you don’t know how to think at all,
5Which is the whole purpose of law school,
6dWhere they teach you how to destroy what other people think,
7And then to feel very proud of yourselves afterwards,
8As if you’d done something brilliant with your great minds,
9eWhen all you’ve really done is find one more hole in all the zillions of holes that exist in all of Mankind’s lies about itself,
10fWhich when you look at it from that perspective isn’t much,
11gExcept that you have to set new records for being sanctimonious about your intelligence,
12hEven though there isn’t one of you that ever had an original, imaginative, constructive thought about anything,
13Which is why you’re lawyers.
