////Josepp, the education of children as well as music is important. The world is dumbing down because (well at least in the US) the elite are trying to take over education and only give it to the well-heeled. This affects the music programs as well. More stupid cuts
are being made in all sorts of education because this is a propaganda mechanism for those wealthy who benefit from others not having decent education.////

Well....yeah....but, come on. Look at the crap people want to watch on TV. Look at the numbnuts they'll spend their hard-earned money on--Charlie Sheen or Snooki--and this is the money they're crying that they can't afford to let the govt steal from them. I've had a bellyful of that. There doesn't look like there's much to dumb down.
