Dear ATEGERS

Whenever discussions of how poorly educatied Americans are, particualry in
comparison to the poast, it always makes me laugh.  We are the most
productive country the world has ever seen.  American workers work harder and
longer with less time off and fewers perks than in any other First World
nation.  We also invent things at a great rate.  Yes, other countries
sometimes capitalize on those inventions, but they have to come from some
place. We have the strongest military in the world.  We have a Working
judicial system.  Our political system works most of the time ( recent
events...well, it will turn out ok!).  When people run away form their own
countries they come here.

Who runs these complanies, the military, the judicial systems and the
political systems?  Who taught the people who run these systems?  What
schools did they go to?  It seems never to have occurred to anyone that,
while impoerfect, our school systme is kind of working for us now.
