With a mayor that didn't need to exceed College of San Mateo.
We called it thirteen grade.
I love to have your best friend appraise real estate for Us!
"Education" these days is often a class thing, as opposed to a useful life-improving experience anyway. I know numerous Harvard and Yale graduates who are loaded with the accompanying sense of entitlement, who are unwilling to "lower" themselves to working with others, and who don't understand why things aren't handed to them on a silver platter.
I made the decision, years ago, to attend a school that would give me a real education -- real-world experience with people and career options of all sorts. We teamed up with our neighbors at Wellesley College to create some of the most feared teams busting into the academy's parliamentary debate championship. I remember well the shock that was displayed when these two scrappy schools fielded a team that ended Princeton's run as the undisputed champions of the art -- and who paid for their own cars, worked after school to pay tuition and rent, etc.
Never let others tell you that "education" is a process that starts and stops at the gates of the academy. After all, George W. Bush is a Yale graduate with an MBA from Harvard Business School -- while a success story like Lee Iacocca was a graduate of "minor" Lehigh University and the barons of our own region in the Bay Area -- Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Jack Tramiel, etc. didn't even get a bachelor's degree. Who'd you rather have "creating jobs" or managing your money?
Cheers,
Brian

Wonderful, Brian. Thank you. As I have said before, Libertarians are
often perceived by the general public as rather uncaring or
Darwinian. But, I believe, those of us attracted to libertarianism
instinctively praise efforts of the self made person. How can we
communicate to the public, and to young people in particular, the joy
that comes from self actualization. Just a thought: our Yahoo
reminder has told us Ballot Arguments are coming up; perhaps those
running for office could use the Ballot Argument medium to
address "education."
