The cost of public colleges and universities, as well as community colleges,
are truly astounding these days. I for one am quite happy learning from
books, web tutorials and the occasional ( ;-g ) mailing list thread.

Yes, but college degrees are the bill of goods we've been sold. We
are lead to believe that if our children (and us) go to colleges and
get that sheepskin then everything will be great for the rest of our
lives. But unfortunately, that's not true.
In the meantime, academia and politician still demand more funding
waving the same banner of yesteryear -- "Your children's education
needs improving" -- while continuing to fail miserably in the global
arena.
Like with everything else, you really don't realize the problem until
you bounce off the bottom. We just haven't reached that yet, but
we're doing our level best to get there.
Cheers (I guess),
