Author Notes
Opinions vary I suppose. I think that education in this country has become a low priority and that is a shame. It shows in the crime rate and quality of what we produce. Knowledge is the key to culture. We are becoming a country without culture. And it runs across racial and economic lines which creates an atmosphere of hopelessness. Oppression began long ago. I don't think it ended.
