Charles.  One other point about education.  My son wanted to enter the military right out of HS.  I explained to him that the lowest officer starts at a higher rank than the highest enlisted.  This is not to belittle or downplay the contributions of the enlisted.  It is just what it is.  The recruiter explained to him that before the government spent a million dollars teaching him to fly a helicopter, they wanted to have some indication that he had the mental aptitude and that he finished what he started.

So he went to college, then joined the military and today is a helicopter pilot.

tell him thank you for his service and to keep the rotor blades turnin.
you are right to guide him to college first. if my dad had not have invested my college money into land, i woulda done the same.
they are not making anymore land, so i see it as an investment.

now as far as changing who we put in power. YES we can change it. we simply dont vote for those running. without a vote, the government cant just put into power who they want, unless that has been changed in our constitution, which i wouldnt put it past them to vote their self in. according to our constitution and decleration, the government get thier power from the governed. if we dont give them the power them we put the ball into our hands. it will never happen, but it with our rights, if we gave a crap about our rights. this our country, not the governments. if we dont take a stand, there will be nothing left.
rl you and noah seem to be great political debaters. i applaud the both of yaw for your insight and input.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!
