Cool. I dig teachers. I'm engaged to one. My best friends are teachers. I am a teacher. And teachers are the best-intentioned people I know. Unfortunately, few of them have any idea of the historical or theoretical foundations of the institutions in which they work. Have you read Paulo Freire? How about John Gatto? I'd be happy to tell you about them off-board, but this thread has gone astray from the intended purpose of this forum.BTW, unappareled access to materials goods is NOT a measure of quality of life. Nor is heavy taxation necessarily an indication of a poor quality of life.

among others. So is being able to own a computer and share the ideas we are sharing, do you understand that some don't share in that freedom?mp
Certainly, but that doesn't make this "the best of all possible worlds."
the best world, referring to western and in particular capitalistic economic systems,....it's the best out there so far though. The whole thread started because you compared capitalism to the oppression in brazil and 1984?mp
