That’s a good point. The longer the government can keep our kids in public schools, the longer they have to indoctrinate them. Nowadays - every single child is being pushed to go to college. What’s going to happen in a few years when EVERYBODY has a college degree? I would guess you’d have to have a degree to work at McDonalds then.

I don’t like thinking about the future trends we’re looking at now. A permanent third-world class of people that provide labor and manufacture for us. The rest of us working our whole lives away in the pursuit of consumerism - how big of a house? How many cars? The latest electronics? The latest fad fashions? This kind of lifestyle does nothing to build character in people. We will be like Play-doh in the wrong hands.

This is not good.

Everybody doesn’t have to go to college, but the gloves are pretty much off. The fantasy land America experienced following WWII is done and gone. To compete now, you have to compete with the entire world.

Can you cay, "Morlocks and Eloi?"

Looking at the trends can be scary. Society over-sexualizes our children (see: hoochie clothes for three- and four-year-olds) and infantalizes our young adults (see: college-aged "kids").
