[DeductiveReason]

When this guy has spent a year or two living in the projects on food stamps, then and only then might he have something to say. NICE SUIT, NICE TIE, and a LYING TONGUE. I say let's tear down this college and make it into a nice commons or park for the children in the projects to play in! This guy is using people and distorting history. Let's focus on Russia's commons or parks. If you were caught picking a flower, or gathering firewood then the KGB shot you.
