<<In many ways the military is the kind of government democrats like- a jobs program.>> Of course, I know. When I taught high school in the South Bronx (the worst ghetto in the US at the time) for a year in the early 80s, all my students wanted to go into the military because that meant a free college education. <<You don't care about how many people we incarcerate for drug crimes?>> It depends on what they are selling. I'm not a heroine, cocaine, crack supporter. I care more about the bomber planes and killer submarines being built and how that money could be redirected toward merit based scholarships for college and improved social services. Education is the great equalizer. Of all people, you should know that.
