Society is changing. It takes imagination and innovation to change things. Stuff like linking in free university degrees to everybody that puts 3-5 years into the Armed Forces (that's just an example - it's not intended to be a workable solution, just something to get the out-of-the-box thinking caps on)
Hi TOFOne,
Unfortunately, the whole of our society seem Hell-bent on unlinking anything that resembles merit with reward. So, preferential terms for those who invest graft or service are pitiful, at best. It is not the rise of the Zombie's but, the increasing percentage of Morons in the population that needs to be addressed.
