For my Libertarian friends

Not as much as mine
Education is something I feel pretty strongly in.
In my younger, more extreme days, I used to support a public "secondary" education.
So basically a publicly funded university system, just like K-12.

I now look back on that idea and laugh a bit.
Wait, are you talking about secondary or primary?
I know some countries, (I think Germany is one) where they have work/school programs. Like you can work for BMW lets say, and get an education while doing so. I think thats pretty cool, for some that maybe can't afford school.

Seeing that the name you mention is in some way related to the origins of my avatar, I feel offended.

 

I missed a lot of what was said...but honestly, unless you have a VERY abnormal passion/caring for people I dont think anyone would mourn the death of someone not directly, or somehow involved with you.
Not that anyone is happy about it, it is sad when anyone dies...but I wouldn't mourn the death of just any bum/cop/businessman or anyone, unless I knew them.

May be way out of left field but that's my 2 cents out of what I gathered

Many "drunk bums" are schizophrenics or other mentally ill people for whose demise I'll suffer more (un fact I'm studying something related to it) than for a cop's whose job description requires that. The cop chose to be a cop. A mentally ill person didn't choose it. And both of you missed my point. I mourn when someone doing a service to my family dies.  A homeless bum, regardless of why he is homeless, does nothing for my family.

^ and that could fund the health care system ... private enterprise saves the day.

Why the hell would ask such a horrible thing? 

Using them for spare parts makes so much more sense...

So Rob, are you suggesting we murder all the bums?
Would alleviate the problem!
