educatio, or not

Education is generally a good thing, and the reason why we encourage our kids to become well-educated, so they can become more successful in our society. There ARE exceptions, however. there are some City officials, for instance, who have risen up the ladder somehow, thru hook or crook, to fairly responsible positions. A handful have only a high school degree or maybe a semester or two at a state college. Education will never replace honesty, integrity, or character- you either have or you dont. Everyone will have to decide for themselves whether these City officials can be called a success or not. Examine their latest decisions and decide whether their life experiences have led them to any decisions that make logical financial sense, or NOT. If so, please explain how they make sense. If not,I rest my case.
