<p>311Griff, not that I don't agree with part of your post, but the education I have experienced has help me learn to think critically, to question EVERYTHING including authority. Out of curiosity, are you an adult self-supporting yourself with a job? Because once one starts to go hungry, dancing to the beat of one's own drum becomes less imortant than learning whatever you need to learn to get payed. I'd say it's no surprise that great revolutions, from the Congo, to the French Revolution, to the US, was started by rich intellectuals who had the free time to look at the big picture. Everyone else pretty much needs whatever education a society deems "useful."</p>
