I would disagree with John Ward - while there isn't necessarily a skill requirement for "most people in the middle class" having a broader, more knowledgeable view of the world is a good thing for everyone.

btw - good story on NPR this morning about "merit scholarships" for private schools; upshot: discounting the huge "retail" price to attract the better students.

But I disagree -- perhaps it DOES make you a more valuable member of society. Just maybe when asking 'would you like coke' you've thought about just how much HFCS is in that coke...
