16. Ain't that the truth.

The privatization of our educational system is going to produce even more apathy. More drones just smart enough to pull the levers while never questioning what the lever does.

I too have family who have never voted. But then, I know they haven't had the education I have had either or better to say, the desire for education in the same realm perhaps.

It doesn't make me better, it just means I know how the sausages are made. I have a hard time blaming them when I know they don't know any better and they mean well enough.
Good people, just, modern life is so hard in this land where nobody will lend you a hand unless yours is holding a dollar.

And so many who should know better, so many of the most highly liberally educated people in this country are working and putting their talents behind the very institutions destroying & defrauding them. Is it any wonder so many are lost?
