ARE WE ALL ALIKE?

Alike yet different. We like different kinds of cars, houses, and politicians. We look different, like different colors, have different fingerprints and iris. But we are all human beings. Since we have so many different preferences as adults why is it that we throw every child into the same 13 year prison system that we went through? Why do we make them all learn the same subjects? Where did this facist system come from? It doesn't really matter where it came from - the larger question is, why do we allow this broken system to control our lives and our children's lives for so many hours of so many days of our lives? Does it really take that long to provide fodder for the economic status of our world? Intelligent beings have been consumed by ignorance and now will believe anything. I guess forced schooling has worked! We just keep on letting it happen. We stay hunkered down in the same little box. We don't need newer and better technology because, even with it, we are still living in the dark ages.
