>> Right...hopeless...

I don't believe it is hopeless. But I do believe the nation will suffer greatly before we come to understand that government is not a solution to a problem, it is a problem. Recent generations in the US have lost their understanding of what freedom is, and the responsibilities that come with it.

>> When was that? Give me a timeframe...

There is actually quite limited data available for detailed analysis across nations, but up until about 1990, the US led all nations in mean years in school, for both women & men, which seems like a decent metric.
