That raises another one of my pet peeves. Regulation and standardization in education, even education not funded by taxes. Parents in the USA can't educate their children in many places because of arbitrary restrictions. They have to send their children to tax-funded schools that serve up mostly nonsense and high fructose corn syrup. Insanity.
By the way, nothing is free as in beer. Ever. Somebody pays for it at some point. That said, I'm happy to pay taxes to fund education, public health and safety, as long as it's well spent. That means I should be able to allocate my share of taxes to the programs that I believe in.
Anyway, that's enough thread-jacking for one day... My apologies for the inconwenience. I shall now go roast my tesiculos over a grande fuego.
