World Literacy Rates

This week they announced world literacy rates. It's funny but when education is left to the market and not publicly funded, literacy rates plummet. Countries without public education are the most backward. With all its faults, we forget what a blessing public education is and how it empowers us as a nation. It creates the meritocracy we enjoy, it does not defeat it.

Love America. It was so superb traveling. Great people, great infrastructure, great transportation system.
