I also wonder why considering all the oil pipelines that traverse the country. And with oil, the chance of pollution is high, water who cares if a pipe springs a leak.

Hi Panda:

When I was a SA contributor, it appears that they scored all contributor articles and according to the clicks or hits I received, I was scored in each of the categories listed, which my article touched upon. All contributors received such scores. I was proud, in so short a time, to reach the top of my field of concern.

Thanks, Adam. Sadly, the possibility of my plan being adopted is simply a pipedream. But it was nice as an academic exercise. However, one never knows.

Actually, it would end up saving billions of dollars in many ways: Fewer criminals to incarcerate, a better-educated populace garnering higher-paying jobs, thereby, paying more taxes rather than collecting welfare payments. Our racist tendencies could be lessened because when people are raised together they tend to not fear nor hate each other. Corporate America would benefit because it could be assured of a more productive workforce. Educated individuals would not as easily be bamboozled by fake news, tweets, and foreign propaganda and the possibility of electing another Trump clone would be lessened. I could go on, but if you think about it, you'd know that America would be a better place to live for it. What would that be worth?

Thanks
