It's none of your business and it's none of mine, too!

It's none of your business and it's none of mine, too!
One more odd thing. People send their's and other's children to school in order to get an education. Yet, the moment the child exits the halls of learning, they encounter those same people busily demonstrating that whatever they might have learned in school during their pupal stage, it has since slipped their minds and they have no intention of ever recovering any of it. In fact, while they demand that children get good grades, they also demand that the children cease to think about the things that got them good grades whenever they are in the presence of adolts who would flunk if they took the same subjects in later life.
Why is this? Why do they demand that the children get the same
"education" that failed them? Or that they failed to retain?
Now, I know that the adolt human mind can only handle so much
in the way of stimulation or repetition before it has to have
an ale or a bar of chocolate or a Mel Gibson movie.
I also know that middle management types have the bizarre habit
of turning any interesting job or subject into an overwhelmingly
boring and malign series of mindless tasks apparently designed
to punish those who have had the temerity to get hired into
positions where they might make the managers think about something
besides vacations and their secretary's panty lines.
But, shouldn't an almost intelligent adolt try to steer their's
and other's children away from such rat mazes of slow brain cell
suicide? Shouldn't they encourage the children to learn enough to
get enough power to grow up and overthrow the mundane and obscene
overseers?
Well, in fact, no, because the children might start with them,
instead.
All the dreams of childhood triumph over the adolt world are
turned inverted and beyond a certain point, the nascent adolt
has to prove it's loyalty to the herd by making sure that the
nearest child gets stunned into insensibility before it
damages the juggernaut of the status quo.
Thus, someone like Bill Gates, who had the ability once upon a
time to make rude gestures physically, fiscally and spiritually
at the bigtime world of slow and expensive computers that almost
but not quite worked as they were supposed to, now is such a
part of the establishment that every keystroke is a prayer
that his like will not be seen again.
I don't even want to think about his children, if he has any.
