Don't your parents own a store in the area you live in. Won't that stadium bring more people in and possibly spend more money at the store. You don't think you'll get any benefit from this stadium?

Now whose business is it how the parent > decides how to educate the child? You're very right. It's not the governments business how a parent educates their child. They give you the option to use a public school, or you can send your child to a private school, or even homeschool. Why should the government fund any of the others aside from the public school?

Yet I do it, it's the right thing Without the schools that you pay for, kids would be on the streets at all times of day causing trouble. Crime rates would go up because if you're uneducated, crime is an easier way to live. > to do. Anytime a child gets a better education it's the right thing to do. > Yes. I agree with you on most of these things, but I just feel we differ on wheter taxes are your money or not. I think it's possible to live somewhere where there aren't any taxes, but I bet it's not a place I'd like to live. > - Matt Small > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Captivate from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=52 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:178574 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
