Cutting funding in public schools and letting Texas re-write text books works out real good!

Oh Gosh! I also wonder if he likes having his garbage picked up at the curb, and his mail delivered to his mail box. Oh these simple things we take for granted, that somehow involve government. (And gee, I imagine he sent his offspring to public school...)

Katiebell, I think that some people imagine that they could "make it on their own." But really, all of us exist as a part of society, with a relatively effective and stable government and a huge and relatively productive economy. We are very interdependent.
There is a statement I like: "if you are traveling through the jungle, and you come across a lone chimpanzee, you have just found a dead chimpanzee." I'm all for recluses and hermits, but really, taken all in all, people are like that, too, from infancy onward. Interdependent, social beings. And government plays a hugely crucial role in ways that some people are simply too ignorant to recognize. We ought to celebrate our government, and our so-called "private sector" (which is largely made possible by government), and not be pitting one against the other. Without government, you don't really have commerce, only piracy.
