gs]   Under a WG, who will run the education system? The WG? If so, you should 
gs]   examine what's been happening with education in the US. If anything, too
gs]   many citizens are becoming *more* susceptible to government propaganda.
gs]   Read Chmosky or Chomsky-lite (ie, Harel) to see what I mean. 

Let the individual countries run their own school systems (as the
     states do here.)  Better yet, allow private enterprise to run 
     the schools.  
     
Citizens become more susceptable to propaganda precisely because they
     lack a good education.  With T.V. and commercial magazines doing 
     the thinking for them, people are killing off their minds, 
     strangling the very thing that could protect them from irrational
     pinheads with a presuasive voice and power on the mind.  So, what
     can we do then?  Keep T.V. from the people?  Regulate the hours
     a station can run programming?  I don't know.  Any suggestions?
