Did you seriously just equate the falling out of cursive to increased government control?
I do not know where you speak of when you say "many schools no longer teach it", as its almost required where i live, and is still perfectly relevant for reading cursive and learning how to sign your name. However, while writing entire letters in cursive can be artistic, most people, doctors especially, have handwriting so terrible it becomes completely counter-productive. Technically you dont even need good cursive for a signature. Just look at Bush's signature. Its a damn scribble.
