My kids were unschooled their entire lives, and when they went to college, they got straight A's. They are very intelligent, creative, inquisitive, social people. Your statement, sir, is not insightful, it is the statement of someone who knows not of what they speak. Unschooling respects the children as humans, instead of arresting their development by treating them like dumb animals kept in cages all day.

What's your point? What has the failure of the automotive industry to respond to customer demand for fuel efficient cars have to do with the RIAA wanting to squeeze it's customers for every penny they can get? The two involve corporate entities, but beyond that, they have little to do with each other. I believe that's what is called a straw man argument.
