I know greenspan said education was priority 1 to our future, many agree. I have seen uneducated come into a place like palm beach county and set it back a couple decades - those migrant workers know how to work a field but maybe cant give thier kids a great base for physics or biotech to work at scripps. I have seen this in south georgia - the nicest people needed a good state run school system to bring thier kids to the upper echelons of society - they simply were incapable of doing it on thier own. I know many redneck families that were greatly benefitted because there was a good government there lifting them up - had the been left to thier own devices and lifting themselves up by thier own bootstraps - the areas would not have prospered as well I don't believe. Look to what Britain did with the spread of their culture and education to the rest of the world centuries back - I don't think you can argue that taking communities or societies to the next level is a bad thing. Leaving them to thier own devices perhaps is not so good. I just heard an interview with john leguizamo - he said he was very thankful to his public education math teacher and that was his hero who got him started to be a successful productive citizen - had it been left to his parents he probably would be a thug locked up in jail.
