    i didn't read the article and i care less about data or survival..i have one question to the gvt regarding public education system(which is one of the cause of today's rising prices) as a whole-how the f** they are having the unions? what for? and what they are unite against? looks like they are united against us,the people? how it's even legal?

    George Carlin nail it long time ago-

    why it's take 10 years to some one else to realize it after he said it out loud?
    Carlin sums it's all up in 5 min speech. all US current probllems that no one is willing to solve. RIP GC

    It won't make any difference if it's free. A lot of knowledge is free, and people still don't take advantage of it--they would rather sit in front of a TV set. People who really want to go to college will figure out a way to do it. They will get loans, work nights, live like a pauper, and give up much of their leisure time, as I suspect many of us have done. And those are the ones who will get the most out of it--not those who had it handed to them on a platter (or crammed down their throat unwillingly) and paid for.

    Questionable how valuable college will be unless you have a genuinely marketable skill when you finish. Yes, there are other reasons to go--but that's an issue for the well-heeled, not the practical.
