pot·pour·ri — 2 : a miscellaneous collection : MEDLEY.

Whether the subject is education, land use planning, growth management, gun control, water rights, environmentalism, breaching dams, salmon recovery … what is being discussed, in final analogy, is systems theory:  the world as a system of subsystems, all interdependent and interconnected to form a wholistic or holistic system; that within any one system there is an infrastructure that is analogous across systems, irrespective of physical appearance.  In other words, if one understands the system that under girds education, one also understands the system that under girds any and all the other issues being discussed in our society today.  And whether discussing education or another issue, the goal is not individual rights but the “common good” as determined by an elite few who really do believe that the populace, as a whole, just isn’t smart enough to know what is good for it.  To that end, the “expert” mentality has arisen.  If you don’t have a PhD or some other of the multitude of letters denoting a degree hanging off the end of your name, you just don’t know anything, you just don’t understand the complexities of the matter.  What goes unsaid, however, is that the majority of degrees today are obtained from colleges and universities dependent on taxpayer dollars doled out by the government; such requiring those colleges and universities teach the government curriculum, ie, that which best serves a government bent on justifying its existence and increased power and position.
