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

Children who are brought up thinking that its not unusual to drive a huge SUV to pick up a gallon of milk, eat fast food more often than not, watch ridiculous amounts of television, and become a good consumer and corporate cog.

>While I agree 100% with you about education, I wonder which parent will intentionnally say "I dont want my kid to be smart"?

The one who plops there toddler or adolecent in front of TV or video game console.

>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.

Libraries are usually free and most of these homes pay for internet acces (which is typically used only for Instant Messenging and more video games).
