I agree, few things are more important than education. I disagree that we should blame the polticians because in doing so we take our eye off the ball. It is we who are the blame. Essentially anything that happens in the US is the responsibility of the citizens of the US. Those who came before us have given us a great governmental structure and it is our failing when we fail to use it properly.
We citizens of the US do not have the intellectual sophistication to comprehend our problems. Until we citizens become self-actualizing self-learners we will fail to meet our responsibilites for our self and for the generations that come after us.
PS: I am convinced that t he logical consequence of an ever expanding economy is the consumption of the planet. |
