Lack of education a good thing to the "bubble-heads"

I saw on MSNBC this morning ("The Daily Rundown") a graphic indicating that 40 years ago, the U.S.was number one out of thirty countries in high school graduates. Now it is twenty-first. I'm not surprised.

I'm also sure that those within the power bubble (and I include the Washington Elite, Wall Street and the Military/Industrial Complex among others) are very pleased regarding that statistic.

Why, you ask?

Because the last thing the "bubble-heads" want is to have an educated and informed public paying attention to what they do. Plus, it is much easier to manipulate the uneducated and uninformed. The fear factor that is constantly used to garner support for causes that are detrimental to the public at large is much easier to sell.

Of course, this is a secret delight. The "bubble-heads" will never admit such feelings. Instead, they will dry-wash their hands lamenting the sad statistic whenever asked about it in public and vow to strive to improve our education system. I'm just sayin'...
