The Beauty of this Nation (Score 1)

The beauty of this nation is that our children are encouraged to make life altering decisions that may affect the rest of their(our)lives. And to question authority. I rather have fewer motivated and productive scientists than a bunch of unhappy citizens. I'll bet a nickel that children in Asia and many other developing nations have very little control when it comes to deciding on their education. Besides, who's to say that a liberal arts major can't discover the next E=MC^2.
