The learning point I get from what you are saying is that the solution to the world’s mess is better education. The means to that is a substantial presence of the free market in the education industry. I guess the means to that is the political process. i.e. you vote in those who have that on their agenda. Action is only possible in the present. You have taken action by writing your blog I commend you for that. You are obviously passionate about this. What is your next action?
