In fact, one of the markers for a 2nd world country pulling out of third world status, is the development of a comprehensive education system - one that allows the rich and poor, girls and boys to become literate.

Granted, our country did not have a comprehensive system 200 years ago, but we were largely an agrarian society, with nearly half fueled with slave labor and the other half with child labor. Yeah, those glorious days or the early 1800's, let's all go back to that idyllic time.

Well, if we got rid of that pesky education thing maybe more Americans would be satisified working in the fields or the slaughterhouses and we could get rid of all those illegals. THERE’S a positive side to it.
