What you want(and I like the idea) is a total revamp of the education system. I would like to pay no taxes for education and be responsible for any education I feel is needed or desired for my family, or whomever I feel compelled to aid. I feel the same way about charity being a personal responsibility instead of our unaccountable welfare system where feel good politicians want to help everybody out with your and my money. In both cases, how we spend our own money for education and charity would be so much more closely monitored because of our true interest in the effectiveness of our spending, and the government would have no say ever in how we are spending our money or educating our children. Believe me, I am not happy with the effectiveness of government spending on ANY issue. The less taxes you and I pay, and the smaller we can make the government, the better. If the voucher system goes into affect and causes a reduction of taxes and a shrinking of government, you can tell me "I told you so" and I'll eat humble pie. If it does not work, let's start a bill to remove the government from schools completely. I'll help, and I won't rub anything in your face.

P.S. I didn't mean any personal attack, I'm sorry.

apology accepted, we all get carried away at times (my "weak" point is laughing at some of the off-color hilarity that pops up on these threads quite regularly).

i dont want to re-vamp the system, really, it'll die anyway, IF we ever get real freedom of choice.
