That is utter bullshit. I didn't do anything to any of these people and I am in no position to change their circumstances. Abolishing the public school/juvenile delinquent factories and making schools compete for their students on based on the quality of the education offered would result in a tremendous improvement the quality of life of these kids. But that's just one of the things I can't change for them. The money I put into these systems is stolen from me. All I can do is homeschool my own kids. All this distributing collective blame and laying blanket guilt trips on all Americans for the sins of previous generations or the screw-ups of our betters gives me gas. David Neilson
