You know if you had read the whole thread I posted to the user "sittnick" you would have seen what my wife really thought. She didn't think that at all... as a matter of fact just the opposite. Oh I forgot... once you have it in your head that someone is making a certain claim there is no convincing you that you are wrong. You are determined to prove me and now my wife are Marxists even though I clarified in other posts I was not trying to denigrate home schooling. Know what... it seems to me you really are just looking for someone to yell at and I posted something that remotely gave you an excuse to do so.
Also I am well aware that Smith predates Marx. My point was to show how ludicrous your question was: "Do you believe education is a proper function of government? If your answer is even conditionally yes, then with regard to that issue, at least, you are a Marxist."
Know what... let's end this here right now. People on Free Republic lately seem to be so angry that anything remotely resembling criticism turns them into rabid animals. I tried to clarify my original post and since you are unwilling to accept that I don't really feel the need to discuss this issue further.
As a matter of fact I did read the whole thread, especially the part where you accused sittnick of having a chip on his shoulder as well. That's an interesting technique you have for discourse, there. The wounded victim act might get you out of a rhetorical tight spot, but it certainly doesn't do your position much good.
I think your post was honest and you stated a bias you thought everyone would share. I'm not interested in this any more either because one of two things is true: you will soothe your ego with excuses about thin-skinned Freepers or you will think about the responses you got and learn something from them. I'm betting on the latter. Have a great weekend.
