I'd like to discuss the methods by which American *society* (that is, 
government, church, business [as if there is a distinction], etc.) shapes 
individual behavior towards its ends, and how a logical development in 
the education system could eliminate the resulting behavior control 
society has.  I am writing a paper and have read many behaviorists 
(Pavlov, Skinner, etc.) and anarchists theories, but I have not seen any 
convincing arguments that man can be educated *and* free.  To be more 
specific, how can education turn kids into productive auto-programmers?

I have a theory sitting in the back of my head at the moment, but I am 
waiting to hear others points of view.  Maybe they see the obvious I don't 
see.
