PMFJI Mike, but could you define what you mean by "All American kids"?

While I agree 100% with you about education, I wonder which parent will intentionnally say "I dont want my kid to be smart"? I guess we all want the best for our kids, but it's often lack of education and/or lack of money that prevent parents to give a good education to their kids.

>In all seriousness, education is the cure for this conflict. Not even drug education, just education in general. Critical thinking, responsibility, ethics, self-awareness, the scientific method, evolution, ect. If we raised smart kids instead of All American kids we'd be a lot better off and substance abuse would be far less frequent. IMO.
