[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elim Garak: [QB] I'm wondering if anyone else has seen the most fascinating ads in some U.S. newspapers. "The #1 Military Power. The #18 Education System." "No Wonder Our Bombs are Smarter than Our Kids." "The First Row of These Nuclear Warheads Annihilates All Civilization. The Others Destroy Our Schools." (the U.S. has enough nukes to wipe out civilization tens times over) etc. "Business Leaders of Education" or something. It's rather interesting. The U.S.'s funding for military hasn't diminished virtually at all since the Cold War ended. For every dollar of U.S. tax, fifty cents goes to the Pentagon. Six cents go towards education. Scary, huh? In tests, U.S. students placed 18th in the world (maths and sciences at the right grade level); per capita, the U.S. is the 10th biggest spender on schools ($30 billion total per annum), number one on armed forces ($276 billion total per annum). If you find these ads, I suggest you read them; they're very convincing and well-argued. Edit: Typos... Why don't you notice them beforehand? [/QB][/QUOTE]
