And another is that more learning = better civic engagement. Yes maybe on all three. But here's the certainty. More learning meaning higher education means more context for approaching your whole adult life, which is social and economic and cultural and more.

“The contrast is outrageous! There’s this sex bomb in front, and this, this creature—I don’t know what else to call him—this fuzzy, violent, nasty creature in back who only got pleasure out of making people and other Muppets unhappy. A creature of impulse, let’s put it that way. And when I watch myself—’cause I’m usually so critical—but when I watch myself, I just laugh at me. What I love about it is that my character’s trying so hard to be sexy and sultry. And this horrible creature in back of me is acting up. [Laughter] See? I can’t stop laughing. It tickles me to death.

In six months time, the US bombing of Somalia, escalated by Donald Trump in recent months "will rank as the longest foreign war the U.S. has ever fought," writes Spencer Ackerman for Zeteo. So why is no one talking about this particular 'forever war'?

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?
While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.
