<DIV><FONT face=3D"Comic Sans MS" size=3D2>I myself went to school after =
Highschool,=20
I didn't go to college so to speak, I went to a trade school, and while =
there,=20
and even after making it on the honors list my last quarter there, I =
myself=20
found that the environement I was in at school was very morally =
straining on=20
myself. I personally did not finish my education, and because of =
that,=20
because I did not get the piece of paper that says I know something, I =
found it=20
hard the first couple of years that I was out of school. Hard to =
find a=20
job in the field that I already had taught myself. Recently tho I =
have=20
come into an opportunity where I can use my talents, and still have the=20
opportunity to make more than I ever could have with my piece of paper =
from the=20
school. What did I learn from further education? I learned =
that the=20
world is not what I was brought up to believe. I learned that my =
friends=20
were believing what they were told from a teacher whose job was to =
teach. =20
What happened to letting kids make their own choice, yet the majority of =
schools=20
teach one side. If we were to apply this to ALICE, and if we only =
listened=20
to Dr. Wallace, he is the teacher, and he is the one that knows all, =
then we=20
would not have such great minds working on such a program. It is =
the many=20
sides that make the debate interesting. It is the idea that kids =
still=20
have power over their own thoughts that allows us to advance. If =
we go on,=20
and do not have the opportunity to see the other side, then we can not =
learn, we=20
become the slaves of the system. This is why I commend Dr. Wallace =
in his=20
choice to give ALICE another opinion, one very distant from what is =
being taught=20
in secular schools, and secular media. And one that I personally =
believe=20
in myself.</FONT></DIV>
