I'll start.

Public Education is evil because it assumes that parents are too stupid or too lazy to educate their children and, therefore, the State must compel them to do so.

Your thoughts?

    Again, I am happy to pay for education. The manner in which I pay for it is irrelevant to my happiness over my contribution. I never said that I was happy to fund the "federal" government for education, and even if I had, happiness is a feeling just as gratitude is a feeling. I maintain that I am grateful for my public education and that I am happy to contribute to education. My feelings are irrelevant to my opinions about the scope of a government's functions. I still fail to see a contradiction.

    My county draws folks who value a good education, and as such, educated folks. I benefit in many ways from having great public schools in my county.

    Okay... I'm going to admit this and take the pending punishment. I didn't know there was video...it started out with a label cover or something so I just listened while I did other things. lol I just rewatched it here's what I think. Wolfman (the singer) must've been hot, the trumpet players did make me laugh (I think they just got borrowed from a marching band on the fly), and the crowd made me realize that the 70's took a crap on this country. A bunch of anti capitalist spending Daddy's money on drugs. :)

    I knew you weren't referring to the bread crumbs. The candy house with the mean old lady inside who has to gall to not want kids to eat her house just because they're hungry?

    I vote for 'My Friend Flicka', old tv version. Or how about Rin Tin Tin & Rusty? Or Penny and Sky King? Man, that old Piper Aztec. Or even CAPTAIN MARVEL and his Bell X-15?

    When was the last time we had a vote for public schools? And take a look around. LOTS of people don't know WHAT they're voting for... other than their emotions.
