I was merely expressing a viewpoint in the whole argument. My personal opinion, as a whole, is that the school system needed to be taken over, regardless of how the situation may look to some.

If you can still call that "selling our kids", then there's nothing further we can discuss on that score...and I can also see why TUG is "too convoluted" for you. Mitchell's writing does require more thought than a Pepsi commercial.


Maggie, I don't see this situation, and a lot of other things, from your point of view. We simply have different ideologies. It's what keeps this country going. We could have a blast on "Politically Incorrect." But what gives you the right to insult my intelligence?
