Gin and tonic my dear. Great news about the grant funding though.

For most Americans? Almost nothing. An education, IMO, should cover literacy, numeracy, and logic until it is beaten into people's heads so thoroughly they can't open their mouths without some of it falling out. If you have those three things you can learn anything (and I mean ANYTHING)...
