I was looking up some information about Nokia phones last week and was reminded that in Finland, all education is free. That includes public schools and universities. Colleges and universities in Sweden are also free, France, too.

The best education system in the world used to be in California. The California university system was unparalleled and also free. The public schools also were very good, with other states trying to copy their education model.

Then idiot GE puppet Ronny Raygun became governor. His main "accomplishment" was hiring Max Rafferty to dismantle the California public education system and defund the universities. Reagan wasted billions of dollars on his friends [sound familiar?] and left a huge debt.

The legacy has been horrific. Across the country, schools continue to be underfunded, replaced by corporate welfare. Colleges for teachers and courses have been eliminated. This is deliberate. When people are uneducated, they don't understand government. They can be tricked, confused, distracted.

Ronald Reagan was a horrible governor and a worse president. Dumbya BushCo is Reagan's legacy. People can't entirely blamed for their lack of education, but they should take some blame and do something to improve and educate themselves.
