I actually see it as a very simple, and black and white issue that can be answered by a few questions. It is very basic to me:

1. At age 18, is the "child" an adult or a minor?
2. Who is responsible for the education of an adult?

Answers:
1. The "child" is an adult.
2. Adults are responsible for their own education.

Now, it is peachy if an 18 year old has parents that can or desire to pay all or part of your education into adulthood, but it is certainly no right that I am aware of, even if their parents are filthy stinking rich. And it is DEFINITELY none of the governments business - at least in a "free" society it isn't.

I guess you guys believe in personal responsability and all that old fashioned stuff. LOL

Anyway, I agree with you guys 100%

Some kids would appreciate being helped with college, others would look at it like a meal ticket. That is more time to goof off.
