You know nothing about me, Mr. Tonod, and I suggest you don't "waste your time" here any longer, you may be forced to confront an idea that challenges your biases.

I am not against special entitlements for the poor, but if I were, this is not one. It's a trial that could develop into your next comment, which is sending students in non-performing public schools to private schools. For someone who talks about having a simplistic view of the world, you sure make some simplistic assumptions about my worldview.

Education may not be a right, but it's certainly something that every locality in America has decided is worth providing.

First, aren't you against any special entitlements for the poor. Why are you not applauding this as a step in the "conservative," direction. Second, reasonable persons often want all of the information of an issue before casting derisive blogs or barbs at the party in question. If the true cost of the voucher is half the cost of public, why not send all the students in non-performing public schools to private schools? Or, since you are a conservative and education certainly is not an inalienable right, why not completely privatize the primary educational system. I personally despise lottery systems of education, housing and almost anything else. Education and housing should not be a game of chance. I could continue but, why waste my time?

Sir, why do you have such a simplistic view of the world around you. I hope that you are a young man because your thoughts and comments seem very naive and prurient and perhaps you will wisen, not to say that you must be young to be a fool as there is no fool like and old fool and we have our share here in this great country of ours.
