Revolutionary thought of the evening:

If we, as a nation, really want to do something that will change the world, we could start with education.  We should make higher education, at least to the associates level, free to all natural born citizens, and make education a mandatory step for all immigrants.  In addition, we should reform the school systems, to do away with arbitrary and meaningless quotas and prerequisites, which don't encourage people to achieve their goals, but instead teach them to jump through hoops in gaining worthless credits that do not aid them in their live's endeavors.  Why should a person, with a natural talent in mechanics be forced to study english, when they could be taught to fully utilize their abilities and becoming functioning, educated, hirable citizens?  Why should a person with talents in physics or the arts be burdened with limitations of a curriculum, when a more advanced study line would do them better?

These things will not happen in our country, though, not for the majority.  There is too much opposition and fear of education, it is loaded with distasteful memories for many people, and weighted with the actual cost to the taxpayer.  People don't want to pay for the things they need most.

Shit, what do I know?  Never mind, I'm just a little buzzed and out of it.  I don't care that much.
