Sorry. I guess I can't get past the knee-jerk.
There seems to be a mental block that says, "if the government doesn't supply it, nobody will get any." The fact that this is not true for thousands of products, services, and yes, vital human needs, seems to be lost.
I see capitalism as a consequence of freedom. You and other liberals see it as predation. I guess that's not something that's easily bridged.
I guess things will have to work out for themselves. People will find their own alternatives. They always have.
Just one last question: do you honestly believe that the primary motivation of the NEA is the best possible education for children?
