It's not the public's fault they are asses, they are the victims of public educational mediocrity, (which is to say education in the overall sense of the word). One thing I've never understood is: if by any objective measure the K-12 school system is so bad then why force the poor little wretches to school at all? Why not let them stay at home to be homeschooled, or just learn a skill/craft? Life is still quite short so  why send children to schools where the illiteracy rate is unacceptably high & the children pick on each other? 
Lets have vouchers not only for private schools but also for homeshooling

"Checked luggage" is itself an inconvenience. I don't
fly much, but when I do, I've done carry-on only for
the past few years. And if there are any special
procedures required for a certain item, that's another
inconvenience.
