I hate how the government* thinks they know everything. One of my friends' brothers has been driving [without a license] for 3 years, until he turned 18 [he now has a real one] and he did it because he worked and his parents worked too and there was no other way. He was in school, and than he dropped out and started working full time. I don't understand why what politicians say is right, should be praised...Driving isn't a privilege, its a necessity!

I am specifically talking about the American politicians and their politics. In many other places [not all] they don't think that they are gods, above all power, with infinite rights.

I don't think FIRST in every school is a good idea. I may go as far as saying robotics in every school is a good idea, but I think there are many other effective programs other than FIRST and that FIRST to me is becoming more and more like a corporation trying to create a monopoly for robotics education with this 'FIRST in every school' mumbo jumbo. Botball and BEST definitely kick FIRST's butt in many areas in the big picture and the VEX platform [since it has been dropped by FIRST] is equally as great. FIRST costs WAY TOO MUCH to be put in every school.
