Gervase I like the idea of being a citizen instead of a subject as well. Even more I lke the idea of being a citizen instead of a consumer which is what our government keeps referring to us as. Pisses me right off.

Guy on the radio recently, "what we need to remember when we use the business model for education is that the public is both consumer and product." Screw you! My kids are kids not a product for a global market, look at them not at some misty financial forecast. Time to throw away the model.
