I've said this time and time again, but the core of the problem lies in education. Since a very early age, we are taught what and how to think. We're indoctrinated with totally false ideas, facts, history and ideologies. It's extremely difficult to change the mind of someone whose life and personality are molded around a specific set of beliefs.

As long as the government has a monopoly on education, nothing will change. American politico-pop culture will continue to dictate the views and opinions of the public and the most admirable achievement will always be one of material gain.

When a strategy is devised to pull the power of education from government, then people can be taught compassion, fairness, and respect. Our minds are very powerful and beautiful - we can progress radically and rapidy as a species once the majority learn how to think and problem solve.

Thanks for a great article.
