I wonder if their cultural caste system gets in the way of the
traditional American idea of classless mobility based on personal
initiative toward work and school.<br>
<br>
Schools certainly are a good idea as indoctrination, pacification,
and social control institutions, not to mention education delivery
conduits for the ideas favored by those in real control of the
production, property, and political patriarchy of the populace.
However, wide diversity and religious differences may make
agreeing on curricula in India more difficult, so the "do nothing"
alternative has been adopted more frequently there.<br>

Americans have been dancing among and around the spilled contents
of a box of lit firecrackers in the Middle East since the end of
World War II. Never mind that we lit many of them ourselves.<br>
