"I wonder if we just change around a few words here and there"

All invalid analogies.

[Gerard.P]

we might ask what right the state has to demand that kids go to school.

We should be asking that question. It's the corrupt public school system that is brainwashing children en masse to subscribe to looney ideas of "community" and "conflict resolution" and "environmental love" etc. All junk. Parents are the custodians of their children and their education should be determined soley by them.

All invalid analogies.

How so? In each case the government is forcing someone to do something disregarding the free will of the victim. Tossing them a few dirty coins doesn't make something right.
