Uhhh - you're ignoring MOST kids, who are middle class.  I paid for every 
minute of scholing that I had (less, incidentally, thn you had probably) and 
I 
appreciated it because I had to go out and get it for myself.  NOBODY is 
guaranteed a free ride (which appears to be what you want) - but some are 
lucky enough to have been born into more than others. If you WANT it, you can 
go out and GET it.  I finished a 2 year degree when I was 37 - and am not the 
least bit angry at 'society' or 'racism' or 'classism' for having been born 
without the name 'Steve Forbes.'

Most of your rant sounds like victim to me - decrying the fact that when you 
violate a law you get arrested, decrying the fact that folks expect you to 
work in order to get paid, decrying the fact that you can't deterime what 
everyone else gets to do with what is his because you don't like it.
Shit, my 15 year old has a better handle on life and how to succeed than you 
do!
