if you read the links I posted for example, a good number of those people left to school to pursue their 'dreams' THUS leading them to where there are now (or in the case of those who have passed on, where they made it to)
Had they of been "forced" to stay in school till completion they might never had done the things they did with their lives.
"LOST" meaning WE as a world might have LOST what they ended up creating, contributed, improved etc etc.
Last night Obama proposed a new 'LAW' that would make it mandatory for people to stay in school until graduation OR you turn 18.
With every 'law' their are some sort of consequences if you were to break the law, total speculation here, but some consequences for breaking this proposed law could be:
Fines, Juvenal detention, some type of parent or guardian 'spanking' etc etc
What happens to people that break laws when their young and have to face the consequences? do their lives turn over a new leaf? or do they head down a completely, different path, IE trigger a new life, full of more law breaking.
I know such law does NOT exist yet, but it just made me think of all the 'famous' drop-outs there have been over the years, and what would have happened to them had a law like this been around and enforced then.
Just something to think about.
