Maybe I'm missing somitheng, Pogue, but I'm drawing the opposite lesson.Socialized health care takes care of everyone by limiting choice unless you opt out of the system and pay for private care. Same as our current public school system. Vouchers would increase choice (theoretically) making it less like socialized health care.Creationist parents want some nominal say in how their tax dollars are spent, too, which leaves us with our current predicament. If by law or by school policy every kid has to be taught the same stuff, then it becomes very important who wins the political fight over what stuff gets taught. Michael's argument is that it's ridiculous to have a political fight over this at all, but that such fights are unavoidable given the current system.
