"Cruise doesn't even have a college education."

Now don't get me wrong, I think Mr. Cruise is a little off the all also but whether or not he has a college education has little to do with it. George Washinton Carver, one of the greatest black men in the history of the US never had one either and it didn't stop him from inventing many, many, things. When asked what university he attended his answer was "The University of Adversity". Don't be an educational snob, many college degrees today aren't worth the paper they are written on.

Mr. Cruise is obviously a lefty of the highest order, witness his anger at Brook's response to his critisism a typical lefty move. He is a little whacko and he would still be that way with a degree. Many of the Hollywood crowd are well educated but are really F***ked up.:)

Following his graduation in 1894 from Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (now Iowa State University), Carver joined the college faculty and continued his studies, specializing in bacteriological laboratory work in systematic botany. In 1896 he became director of the Department of Agricultural Research at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University), where he began an exhaustive series of experiments with peanuts.

George Washington Carver was born a slave in 1860 in Missouri. He graduated from Iowa Agricultural College (now Iowa State) in 1894 and was offered a position immediately after graduation. He earned his master's degree in agriculture in 1896. He finished his career at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabami at the invitation of Booker T. Washington.
