Mar 26, 2009 - "The industrial revolution stripped away many of the functions from the traditional family. Education went to the schools, care of the elderly went to the state, work was tranfrerred to the factory, and so forth...The family did not disappear after the industrial revolution. But if became smaller, took on more limited responsibilty, and lost much of its power vis-a-vis other institutions in society." -- Alvin Toffler

I think that young people are going through a creativity holocaust perpetrated by teachers especially ones who hate their jobs. Everyone who agrees this is a disgusting inconvenient truth give me a thumbs up. BTW I'm only twenty years old and I understand this.

I feel like a hero because I recognized most of what you are talking about intuitively and I rebelled. But I see many similarities in business. Medicine, law, and bureaucracies. We have one screwed up society.

Sep 26, 2011 - The State, not industry is responsible for schools, welfare, skewed market motivations, and corporatist lobbyists. Not to mention erosion of culture. Industry, through natural market processes, is one of the greatest positive forces in the world. Look up Mises on the Industrial Revolution.
