Message | We could actually support the second clause! The first one though would make the money spent on the second a real waste, so opposed. |

Message | In July 2073, The education system of Lodamun was made private. I was 14 at the time, and It really didnt matter to me very much. My parents had always wanted to send me to a private school, but been unable to afford it. Following this law, my school was changed to a different one across the city that my parents felt was far superior to the other options, paid for by government vouchers. It didnt really matter to me then, except that it meant a change in schools for everyone. However, two years later, the fickle parliament reversed that law and I was once again made to go to a public school, by financial necessity. This happened as I was finishing school, and it was a great disappointment to me that I was made to change schools a second time. I graduated with an unfamiliar class, and I will never forget my experience. Now I have a six year old daughter. She attends a private school, paid by the government, after the recent reintroduction of vouchers. Enough already. The Tuesday is coming and adam smith parties waited a decade to bring the issue back up. Once again, their political opponents prepare to undo their actions immediately. Please dont do this to my little girl. Please dont do this to my 14 year old nephew. This rapid amount of significant change is harmful to these kids, please do not sacrifice their well-being for politics. Bill Hinken Concerned Parent |

Message | ((see our first post. That was made when there were only two proposals, and the second one was for scholorships for the low income group. A request to split the proposals was met by adding one more!) |

Message | The number of proposals in this bill has been reduced, not increased. |

Message | The only time in history when going from two proposals which was what was present at the time of our initial comment to three proposals which is what it presently has is described as a reduction. We suppose that if Equitista wanted to buy a new house, they would look at one with a price of LOD100,000 wait until the price had gone up to LOD200,000 and then negotiate a discount of LOD50,000 and thus claim to have saved money! |
