Actually, no, my parent's store is not located anywhere near this area. The government's not funding the private school, you are becaseu it was your money to begin with. The government's giving you a bigger choice - more competition, actually.
"Wthout 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." I said it was the right thing to do, right? "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." I never said the first thing about living where there weren't any taxes. I said I believe that giving the money back to the parent to help the parent send the child to the school of the parent's choice was a good thing. I also said that the money that is being spent should not be subject to any government regulation or restriction, well except that it be education. Whatever kind of education it is, is up to the parent. - Matt Small -----Original Message----- From: Marlon Moyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:22 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Private High School orders students to take down blogs On 10/27/05, Matthew Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, but life sucks, doesn't it?

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.
