| Message | Article 1 is a waste of money, because letting the private sector run schools funded entirely by us is just stupid. Article 2 and 4 infringements of personal rights by not allowing people to ruin thier own businesses. Article 3 is also a waste of money, because not everyone has the mental capacity to go to university, so we would be paying for them to fail. Call it mean, but that's the truth, and it would be meaner to rob people of thier money to pay for dropouts than it would be to deny schooling to those drop outs. |
