The sad fact is that I can look at your zip code and tell whether you're going to get a good education. That's not fair.

Man has got to take charge of Man.... Then real education, including pre-natal education. By real education I mean one that has no 'take-it-or-leave-it' nonsense.

But we'll get on to biochemical conditioning int he end and direct manipulation of the brain.
We need more good jobs, and that means we've got to start educating young people, starting literally in the first five years of life making sure that every kid in every zip code has good teachers and good schools, making college affordable, helping people pay down their debt.
