Indeed ABF, for the most part I agree. One little thing though. If someone is able to afford more education, they should be allowed to better themselves, regardless of whether or not everyone ELSE can get that same education. Yes, the education for everyone else SHOULD be vastly improved, but if someone is able to get more education, they should be allowed to! It's WRONG to prevent someone from learning... EVER!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
