    You realize that would require the government acting like people aren't idiots, right? There are two problems with this: (1) they believe we are idiots, and (2) given that we keep them in power, they may actually be right.

    People don't want to learn or think, they want the answers fed to them. As a teacher I see this every single day.

      There's a bumper sticker lurking in that comment.
