I read recently that a child drops out of high school every twenty seconds. Now, when I retire and my health degresses back to the point where I am a diaper-wearing fogey with greasy green feces (just like when I was a baby... good grief, the stench!), there will be a high school dropout to care for me and two of my dearest green-diapered co-Boomers. How gratifying to me! Perhaps that unsavory mental exercise can compel a young adult to finish - and even extend - schooling, so that the choice of career will be his or hers, not the choice of where socienty shall warehouse him or her - whether that warehousing be in Tent City, a full-bore Prison, or in the dank and smelly retirement hole where I, too am warehoused for my final days.
