Regarding the comments on education, if we really want to reform our educational system, we have to have a reformation in our values, which I don't see coming. They have been sounding alarms on our educatonal system for at least thirty years, and it is getting progressively worse. Why? Because education is not a value in the U.S. for most people. Celebrity, entertainers, and athletes trump intellectuals every time. A good student is considered a nerd or a bookworm. The prettiest girls go with the football star, not the valedictorian. Teachers are not respected or revered like in China and India. College students are more interested in parties, sports, and getting drunk than in learning. "Sue they neighbor" and "you only judge a book by its cover" are the watchwords. I'll bet most people will not like hearing all this, but it must be said. On a lighter note, Go SRSR! We have a winner here.
