Dear Alex,

Thinking about the issues of the quality of society which concerned us,
I have no answers but only questions. Obviously human nature is plastic
and malleable. Should schooling, can schooling affect the social/political
behavior of student? To what extent, if any, are "our" schools responsible
for "our" society? What is the effect of exposure to religious experience,
or religious indoctrination on character and behavior? Who is to determine
what is "good" and what is "true". According to Adam Smith it's a free-for-
all. According to the 1st Amendment, the Government has no say about
religion. Depends on what you call religion. Is absence of religion,
religion? I have only questions, no answers.

Kove, Jochen
