was heard to say:
That's your right, but unless you can *gaurantee* that I can, for
no cost, send my children to a 100% secular school with decent
teaching, there is no way I can support abolishing public schools.

"for no cost, send my children..."?

For no cost.

This is the economics taught in public school? By teachers who must be
paid, in buildings that must be maintained, on busses that must be
fueled? "NO COST"???

Let me guess, you vote too. "Let's see, which one promises to give me
something for nothing? Ah! He gets my vote!"

I admit, I made a misjudging--for the *same amount* I'll pay in
education taxes over my life. But there's another point. I'm paying
those taxes my entire working life, which I sure hope is longer than 12
years that my children will go through public school!
