It's a blessing to attend school twelve years and receive the basic education needed to function adequately in today's society. In a free country, a moral country, and a rich country such as this, a college education should be added to the free schools list. Just think what an asset this could add to a free society.
The crime rate would drop significantly because people would be more inclined to think and act morally. Petty crime would decease greatly because educated people earn enough income to support themselves and their families sufficiently. Happy, intelligent workers produce more.
Inventors, artists, philosophers and just about everyone would add immensely to this country’s wealth. How can one person, one society, or one country lose?
The democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama suggested a program of community service to take the place of college tuition. Other such programs could be put into effect to substitute the present system of college tuition.
It is incumbent upon us, the citizens of this great and glorious nation, to bring to the attention of our elected officials, university officials, and lobbyist this innovative idea that could heal many of our social ills and propel us into exploratory universal accomplishments.

Interesting concept.
A college education doesn't exclusively lead to happy, productive workers. There are many more factors.
Would it help crime rate, I'd like to think so but perhaps we'd see a shift of the crime type, not the rate. Think of the college educated person who thinks he's smart enough to not get caught while embezzling money...
i agree with stacey. also - who's your audience? are you trying to reach academic types? or are you trying to reach every-day people? your language is lovely, but its a bit lofty if you're trying to reach the every-man. again, if you're trying to appeal to teachers/professors/principles/ect it is probably fine. im just not sure if that's your audience.
