I can see this in some of my classes that are scheduled later -- most are filled with old geezers. I sort of feel bad for them because most are so incompetant when it comes to school and technology that it's not even funny.

Yet another lesson in diplomacy by Kamil.
You sir are correct that a better educated society has higher paying jobs, and that a large reason why US jobs pay so much more than other countries is because our productivity is among the highest in the world. Since the mid 80's our productivity has increased greatly whereas the productvity in the rest of the world has not kept pace.
I think it is great that India which is the world's largest democracy is getting a piece of "the American Dream", but I don't feel the same way about totalitarian China.
That is a funny video, but it can't be real.
