Listener Comments:

Good! I'm quite glad it failed. If all them kids want a college education, get it the good old fashioned way. GET GOOD GRADES! Maybe you'll get a scholarship on your on accord. Or bust your butt like the rest of us did. Go to school, and work your fanny off to pay off your debts. Bottom line. There's plenty of help out there. LOOK FOR IT.
