What's the difference between a dead baby that's been laying in the hot sun for a week and FL's arguments?
All of a sudden the dead baby doesn't smell that bad.


No wait...

What's the difference between FL's arguments and a dead baby that's been used for target practice by a battalion of marines?
The dead baby has fewer holes.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist dragging the low class/poor taste level down as far as I could... so sue me.



Actually FL, in all seriousness I have to agree with you about our education system being a failure.
Ever since Reagan dismantled higher education and the conservatives strangled the budget for every other level of education, our children just don't/can't compete with the rest of the world anymore.
Our children are the future of this country and our longterm economic health, global competiveness, and prosperity depend on their education.

I've been thinking that I should reconsider my previous opinions about the voucher system for education.
Maybe it would be a better system if parents were given a voucher to allow them to choose any school to send their children for education instead of the current system we have for government run education based on geographic locations.
Of course, all the extemely flawed and biased voucher systems currently proposed would have to be scrapped and revised so that they weren't so blatantly subsidising the children of the wealthy and gave equal opportunity to children of all races and economic classes.
