I had a smart Republican tell me once that the reason that he was opposed to School Vouchers was because
"Why in the hell would I want to be a party to "communising" my right to a PRIVATE education? If I take Public Money for my education, then the Public gets to have a say in what I learn, and how I learn it, and if I wanted that, well, that's what PUBLIC EDUCATION is for."

Then I bought him a beer.=)

Yes, they want PUBLIC MONEY for this, and then they will bitch because there are better engineers in India and China, and Europe will find the cures for Cancer, HIV, etc..., (and make a mint off of it).

Fire-Breathing Dragons...

"paging Dr. Miller, Dr. Ken Miller...Please report to the Republican National Convention..."
