To a large extent, I agree. If nothing else it takes a load of $ to pay
for a degree. The degree in turn will help you earn the $ needed to pay
for it. Another case of the snake eating its tail. Add to that the utter
failure of the public school monopoly and you have the makings of a collapse
such as you witness every day at your reform school. I doubt if even
monasteries will preserve the culture because few will be left to know 
the difference between what needs to be kept as the foundation for a 
new civilization and what is garbage.
