Well throughout history the education gap has always existed. "Bread and Circuses". In every culture, from the east to the west.

- village-idiot 8y ago“Bread and circuses” is not a comforting comparison.
- mmirate 8y agoNot comforting, but such is the way of history. Democracy, even representative democracy, and especially first-past-the-post representative democracy ... is inherently unstable. The things that started happening to the USA since (at least) the 16th Amendment? All of this has happened before. All of this will run its full course as it ran before. And all of this will happen again unless the right people, at the right time, will learn from the Roman Republic, where we and our ancestors have nigh-unanimously failed to do so.
