        Even our country's Founding Fathers agreed that in order for a
nation to be secure a population much be educated.  I happen to believe
that they were right.
        There are too many parents who don't clothe and feed their
children.  The strange part about this, is that, even in our current
society abused children still get educated.  ( I base this supposition
on my current Masters' project.)
