>>>>>[Why, Ronin, what a wonderful idea! But why stop there? We can't
send
those well-educated, productive, tolerant, content kids off into a chaotic
and dangerous world. No, no, we must ensure that all aspects of society-
economy, education, everything- are rationally, efficiently, and competently
managed by trained professionals. If children are the wards of the state,
then property must be as well. We will do away with those greedy, bloated,
inefficient corporations and put ownership of the means of production in the
hands of the people where it belongs. Every person will contribute
according to their abilities and recieve according to his needs; thus will
poverty, hunger, and disease be eliminated. Why, what a bright and glorious
future we will build, a great society, a shining city on a hill!

Seriously, Ronin, that idea goes back at least to Plato, and he's been dead
for 2300 years.]<<<<<
