If they are playing in the street and sticking things into electrical sockets, how many of them can survive to reproduce? Wouldn’t you *prefer* thatthe children of Liberals dir in accidents, and the properl-raised children of Conservatives survive?

It almost sounds as if you’re saying that we should make sure that people don’t profit from their labor by getting more free time, lest they become Liberals. The capitalist system seems to have the seed of its own destruction in it, if it permits people to have more free time - and that free time inexorably leads to non-productive activities.For the Capitalist system to keep raising Conservatives, it should keep most people working all the time, AND make sure that their education teaches them that it is the only way for a civilized society to remain profitable.

In addition, limit education to “learning ‘skills’ that will ... get them jobs in the real world,” and not the other impractical ones. Get rid of useless things like literature, art, philosophy, and the other useless liberal arts. Even science that serves no earthly purpose - like astrophysics, archaeology, and paleography - shouldn’t be taught, since it makes dreamers instead of practical doers.

Have you got a suggestion for how to eradicate children’s love of stories and fairytales? How about for crushing people’s interest in poetry and romance? The “love of nature” that some people claim to feel simply gets in the way of developing natural resources; that better be stomped out, as well. There are so many impulses that can lead to leftism. How can we get rid of them all?

Chemistry and Biology are among the Liberal Arts. You suppress that knowledge you’ll run out of medical doctors.
