One in Eight Americans Now Receives Food Stamps

Sassafrass: i dont think theres such a thing as free education (someone still has to pay for the schools and the teachers) but more education is never a bad thing.

its just too bad no one really values education anymore these days or at least is seems that way

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I guess I'd be all for free education as long as you actually had to get an education in order to get the piece of paper at the end.

thats a good point to make but i think the system should sort itself out. people who dont take their studies seriously will fail and those who do will pass and those who pass will succeed in life.

i think the important thing is to at least give everyone free access and the opportunity to education. what each person does with the education is up to the individual. we can give them free education but its up to them to make use of it.

i think thats better than someone not being able to get an education because they cant afford it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
