One of the challenges though, is how to create a society geared towards and optimized for a knowledge based society. I think there are some rather significant strategical choices that have been made which we see being played out in the funding, structures, and expectations in this area. In making this shift, I can't help but assume things will shift a bit too far to the inclusionary side of things before it settles back down. I just don't think you can create the momentum necessary for such changes without some serious overshoot.
