This board is one of my main ways of amusing myself.
Hat tip to you all. We all remember when you forsook us for Facebook. Of course you came crawling back.

Why do I have the urge to pen a country song about this?

I believe that education should be free in a democratic society.
At least to a high school diploma level, but even that isn't always happening. Free education? if you can convince land owners to give you a few acres for nothing, builders and suppliers to erect the facility for free, then get a staff of a 100 or so teachers to work for nothing, it could be possible...oh yeah, books, computers ect, maybe Staples could donate those....otherwise I guess it'll be paid by taxes. My philosophical beliefs on how a society should be run are obviously the reasons for my sentiments towards education. Nothing can or will be free in an evil capitalist society that exploits everything and everyone that it can.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

What modernized society doesn't exploit every thing and everyone, capitalist or not?

Not sure how to answer w/o a how many years of schooling option. Technically I only have a High School diploma. However, I have over 7 years of post High School education mostly at the Masters level. I’m just to much of a lazy non-conformist to “dot-the-I’s- and-cross-the-T’s” to have someone actually call any of it a degree. So which should I put for your poll “High School?

“Free” education? Let me check what my property taxes are going for . . . .

I'm in almost exactly the same situation. 18 months of a trade school (well, Art Institute), and 30 months at a 2 year collage. I think I'd have an AS in Computer Science if I filled in the right forms, and a second in Mathematics if I completed one more course. But I put High School as my level, because "Some College", which I usually pick, was not listed. I'm proud of not having a college degree.

You sure you're not more proud at what you've achieved without one rather than being proud you don't have one? Sounds like a cut against us institutionalized folks.
