Care to explain what would happen to the economy if 10 million families decide to quit work and home school, oh enlightened one? Or did the diploma by mail program not include the concept of "opportunity costs?"

Incurring the wrath of the ignorant and foolish is always a pleasant prospect for me. And I don't have to wipe the flying spittel from my face. So keep it up.

I've never proposed that all parents should homeschool. Show me where I did that, idiot. Instead, the state monopoly on education should be ended. Private schools and commercial schools would prosper and competititon between them would lower costs and boost results. Those who can't afford to pay for their children to attend these public (but not state-run) schools can find church-sponsored charity schools or privately funded scholarships.

But, again, you put economic practicality above capitalism and individual freedom. You seem to think that it is a natural state for both parents to work - when it is not. Only under the oppressive taxation levels have we required dual-earner families. The societal price we pay when we keep mothers out of the home and let day care centers and state-run institutions raise our children is immeasurable.

Incurring the wrath of the ignorant and foolish is always a pleasant prospect for me. And I don't have to wipe the flying spittel from my face. So keep it up.

Being called "ignorant and stupid" by elitist frauds and jackboot-lickers like you is a badge of honor. I'm so stupid I don't even think the state owns me or my children like you and your fellow travellers - Marx, Lenin, Mao, etc.
