Thin septuagenarian takes up pipe-smoking again after 30 years.
Now they're trying to stop people smoking in their homes because it damages children's health. As ever, no mention of the mutilation performed on children's brains by compulsory education.
I've just realized I've been most inspired in my "secondary" education by a professor whose lamentable dissertations often reveal his loss of self in a system over run with useless, discardable knowledge, all in the pursuit of a meaningless scrap of gold-leafed paper.

I think that there is a difference between schooling and education.
But schooling doesn't rhyme with mutilation :(
Are bad, non-smoking parents equivalent to bad, "smoking in the boys room " teachers ?
I think that by using the word 'compulsory' I implied schooling.
Bad parents, bad teachers, bad kids - you only know them when you have them!
