Finishing the sentence XVII

An unfinished sentence I wrote near the end of my high school days and some responses it received in May 1989:

The one topic, above all others, on which the masses should be fully educated is...

...the joy of being an individual and the inner feeling of accomplishment. (Jason M.)

...the incredible emotional power of Classical music. (Scott S.)

...the importance of forming your own opinions and being able (or courageous) enough to support them. (Kelley R.)

...the methods and policies of the government, or else it will fail to be a democracy. (Chris W.)

...the actual meaning of life, along with the fact that if you do stupid stuff like driving under the influence, you will never know your own meaning of life. (Scott B.)

...the joy of childbirth or the emotional value of a day in the sun! (Sarah G.)

...to care for and prevent hangnails. (Michelle T.)

...the exquisite, nurtured flavor of the famous Benjourno deep dish pizza! (Ben H.)

...the environment and the fact that all these other problems don't mean @#&* if there's no Earth for them to exist on. (Will S.)
