class in society has and is largely based on education.
before education, comes $$$$$.... Those with it already of course. You could be dumb as **** with no education, have alot of cash, and folks will bow and scrape before you, no doubt. Kings and Queens of many countries of old were inbred family members with no education.. But they sure as heck were the 'upper class' of society.
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
If education 'were' the real measure of 'class' in society, we wouldn't be in half the pickles we are these days in this country! It certainly would be a better place for everyone. Utopia like?
Please let Nov 3rd come quickly.. I am sick and tired of all this political discussion, where were all you folks 1 year ago, 2 years ago? I spend a little time daily in a political irc channel on undernet, just so I can get in my daily rant, and also glean a little more knowledge from everyone else, and the political arena at large. Everyone jumping on the bandwagon in the past month or 2 - thanks, but like I said, where were you last summer? (When I say where were you, I mean, were you discussing politics? Did you care about the upcoming vote this year?)
I'm not directing this at anyone directly btw, for all I know some of you may be in the chat channel with me!
I see it here, and across the internet though.. It's like politics is a 'fad' that will fade Nov 3rd (thankfully, in some respects). Everyone should care as much every DAY as you have the past few weeks here. That sort of concern and care for this country is what 'could' get us back on track again.
