Re: "Both California and Michigan went to Gore in the election and they are hardly representative of all the people in America."

No, perhaps not ALL American people, but the votes are representative of the feelings of the MAJORITY of the American people. (Pssst. The guy with the second-most votes won on Nov. 8.)

Re: "What's wrong with giving it a try." It's already been tried in Milwaukee, Florida, Baltimore, elsewhere, and the results are spotty at best.

I am not against major changes in the American educational system. If you want to throw out the entire system of American education K-12 and start from scratch, fine.

Just don't tellme that the voucher system is going to change the big picture for the better. It ain't. It's only going to make our at-risk schools even worse.
