Well, that's the reality we have to deal with. Whether your kids go to school or not, you and they are still responsible for making sure they learn something useful and don't get squashed in the process.
Whether anyone likes it or not, the current organization of our society is due for a good upset. It's inevitable. Like a 100 year storm. I certainly hope enough of us are up to the challenge so that we don't wind up ruled (chumped!) by some foreign power.
I think you're husband's right, to a degree. Whenever Europe has had a major shakeup, the cities suffer the most. The peasants out in the sticks get to pretty much go on tending their gardens and carrying on old traditions. You don't get to remain totally untouched, but you don't get taken over, either.
Maybe it is time we all took Moe's advice and S P R E A D O U T!
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
--Thomas Jefferson
