Education, Gotta Have It!

Education should be FREE! If this were the case the term "investment" in politics might actually retain merit. This not so fantastic scenario would actually produce that "pursuit of happiness" thing everyone likes to talk talk talk about. Not limiting education to those whom can afford it and/or compete to win in the throat cutting game of rising above one's class. What a despairing and banal objective!
Competition in education is counter productive in terms of individuality, expansion, comprehension, creativity and true long term achievement. This foremost socialized incentive or standard's only value is to excel beyond your constructed opponent and make money money money money, MONEY! Talkin bout the cash money!
