i say self serving so that people can go to uic, i follow heart with mind which is optimal condition for living life, heart dominated person does live long as mind dominated person, heart is uneducated, and mind is educated, religious faith is about heart, and school is about mind, in order for school group to prosper they need news such as these.

this is selfish to uneducated people, and we aren't born educated and i do not believe in this single bit unless I see that people with lesser educated people dieing with my own eyes. Remember time when you were a kid you didn't know what aging was, the school gave you aging because you believed in it.

In response to Lauri's question, in 2008 life expectancy at birth for the most educated white men was 80.4 years; for the most educated black men it was 75.9 years. At age 65, the expected remaining years of life for the most educated white men was 19.4 years; for the most educated black men it was 17.5 years. Something other than just education and its correlates is contributing to disparities in longevity.
