Dilemma 3/5/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

1. Your government stops funding education.
2. Your government stops funding security services.

That's a really tough quandry. I'll have to insist on security so I'll sacrifice the education funding. I'd have to investigate these before I decided.

Since I have to choose one, I think I would prevent #1. I mean, it's not really realistic to do away with either, but education is chronically underfunded and a lot of the so-called security services are more spectacle than actual security. So some of the security funding could be probably be shifted to education w/o making anyone less safe.
