I totally disagree with your blurb. There is a strong link between education and happiness. "If the pleasures of the uneducated can be at least as intense and plentiful as those of the educated, then it would be irrational for anyone without an education to pay any price for education."

There are some variables to this story…as there are with most scenarios. However, I will not debase or marginalize the efforts of these young men...they are paying a price – I applaud them.

So, is it better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied? Is it better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied?

The post is about 107 young black men having a chance to further their education...not 107 young men who were murdered, or being sentenced for drug trafficking or possession.
