It's a sad state of affairs when mentioning a 500 word mini-article from a partisan source can be passed off as "knowing something."

A delightfully ironic response to a comic strip about clueless voters.

I think school choice might would help some things. That's coming from someone whose daughter attended a private pre-school and then a public charter. I just have doubts about the magical abilities that some people think vouchers hold.

Trust me, I never expect perfection from public policy or private goods. However, as a parent who looked at private school tuitions in public schools I doubt that citizens will be willing to pony up the bucks it would take to pay those bills.
Also, we have to make sure that schools aren't allowed to only accept the students who are easy to teach and leave the public schools with weak students.
The details are important and I've watch a lot of for profit charter schools fail miserably. It's a complicated problem and I don't think any approach ensure success.

Unfortunately, voucher plans are never funded well enough to give low income students big enough vouchers to attend the school they choose.

I'm not sure Darrin would take that as a compliment. :)

You might want to calculate how many of those abortions result from unplanned pregnancies that could be avoided if Planned Parenthood and other organizations got funding to do more education.

After you've seen voters buy the "new Nixon" nothing phases you.

I was just as serious as Darrin. :)

It is unfair to stereotype political science majors as slackers. We also get a lot of malcontents, infidels, subversives, and pre-law students.
