Hi Choo-choo! Who is focused on deteriorating social conditions? I've been focused on a deteriorating government school system which is destroying opportunity for our children.

Let me ask you this Brian. How can Al Gore, with a good conscience, send his kids to a private school and deny that same opportunity to underprivileged kids in D.C.?

What kind of a heartless twisted person would do that to helpless children?

Or, do you think Al Gore is a racist because most of those kids are African American and he wants to keep them away from his own children? Or, perhaps since he grew up with a silver spoon, he sees himself as part of the aristocracy and doesn't want his kids mingling with the common folks kids?

Which is it Brian? Seriously, why would someone be so motivated as AL Gore to prevent other children from receiving a decent education of their choice?

I would really like a Democrat to explain this to me. Why do you believe so completely in "choice" when it comes to a fetus, yet deny so completely "choice" when it comes to educating children!

Michael

Nowhere in human space and time has freedom ever been unmitigated. There is plenty of empirical evidence that there is a positive correlation between the degree of freedom a population wrests for itself, and the prosperity and happiness of that population.

If unmitigated classical economic liberalism ("freedom" is too broad) worked so well, why is this board focused on the deteriorating social conditions in our country.
